Marsa Maroc Posts Strong Financial Results in First Half of 2025
Rabat, The Gulf Observer: Marsa Maroc, Morocco’s leading port operator, reported strong financial and operational results for the first half of 2025, highlighting the company’s growing role in advancing the country’s maritime and logistics ambitions.
In a statement released Monday, the group announced that it handled 33.6 million tons of goods between January and June, marking an 8% increase compared to the same period last year. Consolidated revenue rose by 14.5% to MAD 2.842 billion ($285 million), while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew 17% year-on-year to MAD 1.561 billion ($156 million). The performance was supported by growth across all business segments and disciplined cost management, despite a 9.5% increase in operating expenses.
The results reflect the operator’s progress under its 2030 strategic plan. Earlier this year, Marsa Maroc secured concessions for the East and West container terminals of Nador West Med in partnership with Terminal Investment Limited (TIL), a subsidiary of Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), and Boluda Towage France SAS. These agreements expanded the company’s transshipment portfolio to three container terminals, raising overall handling capacity to nine million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
During the first half of the year, investments totaled MAD 1.293 billion ($129 million), largely dedicated to superstructures and equipment at Nador. Looking ahead, the company plans to invest an additional MAD 4 billion ($400 million) over the next five years to modernize and expand port facilities in Casablanca and Jorf Lasfar, two of Morocco’s key industrial and trade hubs.
Marsa Maroc’s strong performance underscores Morocco’s emergence as a regional maritime and logistics gateway. With major infrastructure projects such as Nador West Med and the planned expansion of Casablanca’s port capacity, Morocco is positioning itself as a competitive player in global shipping routes.
The company’s latest achievements reaffirm the effectiveness of Morocco’s port development strategy, which continues to strengthen domestic trade flows, attract global shipping alliances, and enhance the country’s status as a leading logistics hub for Africa and beyond.
