CMA Terminals Joins Nador West Med Container Terminal with 49% Stake

CMA Terminals, a subsidiary of CMA CGM, has joined the shareholding of Nador Container Terminal (NCT), the company responsible for managing the future West container terminal of the Moroccan port of Nador West Med. The operation has been completed after receiving the necessary authorizations, according to Marsa Maroc.

After the agreement, Marsa Maroc retains 51% of the company, while CMA Terminals will hold the remaining 49%. Both companies will participate in the management of the terminal, which is expected to be operational by 2027.

The operation develops the agreement signed in October 2025 between Marsa Maroc and CMA Terminals to jointly build and manage this port facility.

The terminal will feature 900 meters of quay, a depth of 18 meters, and an operational area of 37.5 hectares. Once fully developed, it will have the capacity to handle up to 1.8 million TEUs per year.

The project is part of the development of the Nador West Med port, located on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, near the Strait of Gibraltar. The complex is designed to manage international cargo traffic and the transshipment of containers between ships.

Its commissioning will be carried out progressively starting in 2027.
