Tangier Med Port Authority’s Hicham Kharoufi revealed big expansion news Monday during an African journalists’ tour: Passenger terminal upgrades by 2028-29 to slam through 60,000 daily visitors up from 30,000 now as Morocco (co-hosting with Spain, Portugal) ramps up for the 2030 FIFA World Cup influx.

This Strait of Gibraltar juggernaut – opened 2007, 40km from Tangier, 20km from Spain’s Ceuta – links 186 global ports, cranks 9M containers, 7M passengers, 700K trucks, 1M vehicles yearly, fueling $8.3B in business across 900+ firms in auto, aero, logistics, textiles. Kharoufi stressed its edge in Morocco’s trade, industrial parks, and Europe-Africa-Americas routes – World Cup turbo for jobs, connectivity.

Morocco’s logistics beast readies for football frenzy – trade, tourism set to explode.
