by Port News Editorial Staff

Tanger Med closed  2022 with a total turnover of 108 million tonnes, up 6% on the previous year.

Container traffic is also increasing. Last year 7.6 million TEUs were handled (+6%), while ro-ro and car traffic were up 13% and 11% respectively.

Dry bulk recorded the largest percentage increase, up 18% to 404,000 tonnes due to  higher steel coil and grain traffic volumes.

In 2022, a total of 14,404 vessels called at the Tanger Med port complex, a 32% increase on  2021, including 961 mega-ships over 290 metres long.
