Tangier-Mediterranean (MAPTM)

The port is an intermodal global logistics hub spanning over 1,000ha and strategically located within key trade routes of Europe, the Americas and Africa. The deep water port opened in 2007 and is now the largest in Africa and one of the largest industrial ports in the world. It consists of three large basins Tanger-Mediterranean 1, Tanger-Mediterranean 2 and Tanger-Mediterranean Passenger and Ro-Ro. The port handles containers, Ro-Ro, passengers, bulk cargo, vehicles and hydrocarbons. The connections of the port mean that navigational time from the port to Rotterdam is 3 days, to the Americas is 10 days and to China (mainland) is 20 days. The port has state of the art gantry cranes and software including an AI system that can build a highly detailed wind forecast which predicts exactly which containers are at risk during severe winds.

Summer.

Vessel used for marines services within the port. 5. Vessels with a Master holding pilot Exe,ption certificate (PEC). Pilotage contact info: H.chairi@tangermed.ma

A navigational light is at the head of the Tanger Med 1 breakwater and another light at the head of the curved secondary jetty.

There are depths less than those that have been charted have been reported to exist within Tanger Med 1 & 2.

Vessels with 16.5 - 17.0m draught has the following restrictions: Arrival: Tidal window - From 4 hours before high water Tanger to 2 hours after high water Tanger. Departure: No restrictions.

The tugs services provided at Tanger-Mediterranean are used to assist docking, hauling and undocking.

Towage contact info: H.chairi@tangermed.ma

Westerly Wind: It must be closely considered whether to approach the port with a wind force of more than 20 knots from westerly to north westerly directions. That counts for both slack water and current moving between east and northeast. If the wind force reach 15 knots from westerly and north westerly directions, maximum current for the approach should be less than 2.5 knots in direction north east. Easterly Wind: Vessels are able to enter Tanger-Mediterranean port safely with easterly winds force 7 BF in the Gibraltar strait. Picking up pilot at the pilot station can be a challenge as the vessel have to give shelter to the pilot boat. As wind and current have opposite impact on the vessel these are to a certain extend leveled out. According to pilots the current is NE going 90% of the time. The wind force is approx. 2 BF less inside the port compared to pilot station when facing easterly winds.
