Touristic guide

The Port of Casablanca is the most important port in Morocco after Tangier Med. It is a notable port for the local maritime industry.

For centuries, Casablanca was a small seaport benefiting from significant traffic and trade. It finally became the massive, modern port it is today when work began on new jetties and other major structures in 1906.

Its history and vital function make it a necessity as well as a remarkable site in Morocco.

During the 19th century, the need for a more sophisticated and established port arose, as the Port of Casablanca began to expand rapidly due to the growing import and export industry, which saw countless shipments of wool, gunpowder, and tea pass through the Port of Casablanca. By 1938, the Port of Casablanca boasted large docks, a waterfront, breakwaters, and harbors. In 1996, the East Container Terminal began operating. It now handles over 37 million tons of cargo annually and stretches along nearly eight linear kilometers of quays. The Port of Casablanca also hosts the fishing industry, boasts a new fishing port, a new cruise terminal with new facilities: the quay, ferry terminal, and walkways, and a new shipyard. Located near a busy rail network and several roads, the port is able to efficiently transport goods. The Port of Casablanca is also protected from the elements by the Moulay Youssef Jetty.

This impressive port is a very important link in the Moroccan economy.

Many tourists visit the Port of Casablanca because it has an extremely rich history and showcases many forms of maritime industry that visitors can see. This port accommodates commercial vessels, cargo ships, containers, liquid bulk cargo, dry bulk cargo, and fishing vessels.
