Marsa Maroc achieves the best year in its history. Morocco’s leading port operator saw its net profit surge by 25% in 2025, driven by growth in container traffic and international expansion.
The quays of Casablanca port remain constantly busy. Containers, vehicles, dry and liquid bulk: in 2025, Marsa Maroc handled over 67 million tonnes of goods, a new record for the national port operator. On the financial front, the results reflect this momentum. Consolidated revenue reached 5.8 billion dirhams, up 16% compared to 2024. Even better: group net profit surged by 25%, standing at nearly 1.6 billion dirhams. A sign, according to analysts, that the group is not merely growing, but effectively converting this growth into profitability.
.The most revealing figure lies elsewhere. Revenue increased by 16% and net profit by 25%. In other words, profitability is growing much faster than volume, with nearly 1.6 billion dirhams in net profit on 5.8 billion in revenue, bringing the net margin close to 27%. This reflects effective cost control as well as a move up the value chain in port operations. Marsa Maroc is no longer just handling more cargo; the company is also improving the efficiency and profitability of its operations.

This performance is notably explained by the group’s international expansion. Marsa Maroc signed strategic partnerships with industry giants CMA-CGM and TIL to operate new terminals at Nador West Med port. The group also established a foothold in Spain through an alliance with operator Boluda, strengthening its presence along the Strait of Gibraltar.
Although Marsa Maroc remains primarily a commercial enterprise, its expansion into Cotonou in Benin, Djibouti, Monrovia, and Liberia allows it to contribute directly to modernising strategic African infrastructure.

Confidence is equally strong on the financial markets: Marsa Maroc’s share price surged 77% in 2025 on the Casablanca Stock Exchange. A solid financial structure, backed by positive net cash reserves, provides the group with the flexibility to pursue further investments.
Marsa Maroc thus extends a strategy already spearheaded across Africa by Moroccan banks, OCP, and Maroc Telecom. The objective is twofold: to capture new markets while reinforcing Morocco’s economic influence. Marsa Maroc is steadily becoming a key logistical arm of the Kingdom’s African policy.

It remains to be seen whether Marsa Maroc can sustain this momentum, as regional competition intensifies and investments in new terminals have yet to fully prove their returns.
