As of 21 April 2020, trade through the ports had increased by 5.5% compared with the same period in 2019, according to the National Ports Agency (ANP). The volume of trade reached 28.7 million tonnes, despite the slowdown observed during the first three weeks of April. The same applies to the breakdown of trade by port. Indeed, the main commercial ports saw their activity grow, notably the ports of Casablanca (+5.7%), Jorf Lasfar (+12.4%) and Agadir (+5.8%).
To cope with this health crisis, the ANP has put in place a set of measures in consultation with the various port partners, in order to ensure the continuity of port, operating and handling services under the best health conditions and thus guarantee the Kingdom’s supply of goods transported by sea.
