Port of Casablanca

Casablanca’s Atlantic harbour brings container trade and bulk cargo handling into a port closely connected with the city. Breakwaters enclose a commercial waterfront that includes specialised freight terminals alongside fishing and shipyard facilities.

Container quays serve packaged imports and exports, while other areas handle commodities such as phosphate. The layout reflects these different uses: bulk cargo relies on dedicated loading and storage arrangements, whereas containers move through terminal yards before collection or shipment.

An internal railway network runs along the port and towards the phosphate handling area, complementing access from the surrounding city roads. These connections tie the quays to inland transport and industrial activity. Fishing facilities and marine repair areas occupy their own parts of the harbour, extending its working role beyond freight distribution.
