Tanger Med has once again confirmed its status among the world's major port platforms. According to the latest 2025 Container Port Performance Index, published by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence, Tanger Med ranks 6th among the world's best-performing container ports.

With a score of 134 points in 2025, compared with 136 in 2024, Morocco's flagship port remains firmly anchored in the global top 10. This performance also places Morocco in 1st position in Africa for port performance.

A ranking that measures real port efficiency

The CPPI does not rank ports only by size or cargo volume. It mainly measures the operational performance of container ports, especially through the time ships spend in port.

  • Ship waiting time
  • Terminal operation duration
  • Quay productivity
  • Handling efficiency
  • Departure fluidity
  • The port's ability to absorb international flows

In other words, the faster a port allows ships to load, unload, and leave, the more efficient it is considered.

Tanger Med in the global top 10

The 2025 ranking places Tanger Med among the world's most efficient ports. The top positions are dominated by Asian and Middle Eastern ports.

  • 1. Fuzhou - China
  • 2. Dalian - China
  • 3. Salalah - Oman
  • 4. Mawan - China
  • 5. Chiwan - China
  • 6. Tanger Med - Morocco
  • 7. Ningbo - China
  • 8. Hamad Port - Qatar
  • 9. Hong Kong - China
  • 10. Kobe - Japan

This is particularly noteworthy because Tanger Med ranks ahead of several major international ports, including Algeciras in Spain and Port Said in Egypt.

Why this performance matters for Morocco

A high-performing port is not just a logistics asset. It plays a direct role in a country's economic competitiveness.

  • Shorter import lead times
  • Smoother exports
  • Lower logistics costs
  • More reliable supply chains
  • Greater investor appeal

In a global context shaped by geopolitical tensions, maritime disruptions, and the search for safer supply chains, port performance has become a strategic criterion for companies.

Tanger Med: a major lever for Moroccan industry

The rise of Tanger Med directly supports Morocco's industrial development. The port is now connected to many international shipping routes and plays a central role in Moroccan exports.

  • Automotive
  • Aerospace
  • Electrical and electronic industries
  • Textiles
  • Agro-industry
  • International logistics

Thanks to its geographic position, close to Europe, Tanger Med helps Morocco position itself as an industrial and logistics platform between Africa, Europe, and global markets.

A strategic advantage for investors

For investors, Tanger Med's performance sends a positive signal. It shows that Morocco has the infrastructure needed to support large-scale industrial, logistics, and export projects.

  • Fast access to European markets
  • A structured industrial ecosystem
  • Efficient international logistics
  • Specialized industrial zones
  • An environment suited to export activities

This combination strengthens Morocco's attractiveness for companies that want to produce in Morocco and sell internationally.

Stable performance over time

Tanger Med's score moved from 136 points in 2024 to 134 in 2025. This slight change does not alter its place among the global leaders.

On the contrary, staying in the global top 10 confirms the strength of Morocco's logistics model. In a ranking of more than 400 ports, remaining among the world's top six is a significant achievement.

The stakes for the coming years

The challenge for Tanger Med is no longer simply to rank well. It is now about consolidating this position over time.

  • The ability to absorb traffic growth
  • Procedure digitalization
  • Better inland connectivity
  • Coordination between the port, industrial zones, and land transport
  • Maintaining a high level of logistics competitiveness

Tanger Med's 6th place in the 2025 CPPI confirms the port's strategic role in Morocco's economy. Beyond the symbol, this performance reflects a strong economic reality: Morocco now has world-class port infrastructure able to support industry, exports, and investment.

For businesses, investors, and project leaders, Tanger Med represents much more than a port. It is a real competitiveness lever, helping integrate Morocco into international value chains.
