For three In a row, logisticians have debated the new challenges facing the logistics sector and the new opportunities that lie ahead. From the role of the new technologies, until the installation of adequate infrastructures, while passing by the new axes of competitiveness, no subject was dodged. "Morocco is determined to continue the positive transformation of the logistics sector, in particular to confirm its vocation as a logistics hub and bridge between the African and European continents," said the head of government, Saâdeddine El Othmani, in his inaugural address. On the side of the participants, everyone has welcomed the major advances made by the Kingdom in recent years. It must be emphasized that Morocco has today become a truly world-class logistics hub, thanks to the quality of its infrastructure, notably the Tanger Med platform. Open to global trade and connected to 174 ports worldwide, Tanger Med offers processing capacity for 9 million containers, transit of 7 million passengers and 700,000 TIR trucks, and the export of one million vehicles. "The participation of Tangier Med in this show, allowed us to present our offer in its entirety. Every opportunity is good to present a facet of the system put in place to support the competitiveness of domestic companies for export, but also for imports, "said Hassan Abkari, Director Port Tangier Med passengers and ro-ro. Remember that this is the first time that the Eurolog international fair is held outside the European continent, thus establishing the status of Morocco as a locomotive of logistics at the regional level. And, Tangier Med has been well represented both at the plenary sessions and at the numerous workshops where several group leaders shared the know-how and expertise developed in recent years in this area.
Tanger Med, a global logistics hub
"Tangier Med is in a strategic area. This port logistics platform required a significant investment. If groups like Renault and Peugeot have chosen Morocco, it is also because its logistics are well developed. We have been living for a few years, a significant advance in logistics, "said Rachid Houari, director Port Tanger Med 1 and also CEO of Medhub, who was speaking at the first panel of this meeting of logisticians. It must be said that thanks to Tangier Med, Morocco is now one of the world's top 20 most connected countries. Located on the Strait of Gibraltar (the second crossing point of world trade at the crossroads of major maritime routes East / West and North / South), Tanger Med serves as a natural transhipment hub for global logistics flows. In terms, the platform handled 51 million tons of goods in 2017. Similarly, 88 billion dirhams of Moroccan products were exported. Its effectiveness has attracted several hundred companies. Today, the free zone of Tanger Med (recognized first free zone in Africa by the Financial Time) hosts 800 companies in activity, which achieved in 2012 an export turnover of 72 billion DH in various sectors such as automotive, aerospace, logistics, renewable energy, textiles and trade. Recall that in terms of infrastructure, the port complex is 1000 hectares composed of 3 ports (Port Tanger Med 1, Port Passengers and Rovers and Port Tanger Med 2) and the industrial platform, meanwhile, is 1,600 hectares composed of six zones of activities. This allows Tangier Med to offer a range of complete offer. In this sense, a new zone dedicated to export "Export Access" of 19 ha is set up for the treatment of export flows with a processing capacity of 2100 units per day and an average transit time of 2 hours. "Tangier Med is a platform of choice for Moroccan exporters. It makes it possible to handle ro-ro traffic for exports of Moroccan products in the textile, leather, automotive, aeronautics, electronics, horticulture and fresh products sectors, "adds the top management.
