The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has officially launched a feasibility study for port development in Morocco, targeting four specific sites. The study aims to assess the potential for enhancing maritime infrastructure to support economic growth and trade.
According to a statement from JICA, the study will focus on the ports of Nador West Med, Dakhla, Tan-Tan, and Laâyoune. These locations are strategically important for Morocco's Atlantic facade and its integration into regional and global supply chains.
The initiative is part of a broader cooperation between Japan and Morocco, which includes technical assistance and potential financing for infrastructure projects. JICA has been active in Morocco for decades, supporting various development programs.
The study is expected to be completed within 18 months, after which JICA and Moroccan authorities will review the findings to determine next steps. No specific budget or timeline for construction has been announced.
