Morocco exports its successful port management experience to Liberia

Tanger Med Engineering,a subsidiary of Morocco’s Tanger Med Port Authority,has signed a landmark agreement to modernize Liberia’s ports of Monrovia and Buchanan.

The Moroccan company has pledged to upgrade container terminals,cargo berths,and warehousing systems. It also pledged to deploy smart logistics platforms,advanced security systems,and sustainable energy solutions.

Dredging and expansion of the two ports are also planned to accommodate larger vessels and increase trade volumes.

The ports modernization will support Liberia stimulate its economic growth by rehabilitating critical infrastructure,facilitating regional trade,and modernizing the country’s logistics services.

This project will attract investment and better integrate regional supply chains. The goal is to turn Liberia as a competitive logistics hub on the West African maritime corridor,while strengthening its capacity to serve as a transit corridor for landlocked neighboring countries such as Mali and Guinea.

The agreement builds on a November 2024 deal signed with Marsa Maroc for a multipurpose terminal in Monrovia and Buchanan’s rehabilitation,emphasizing public-private partnerships.

Tanger Med is Africa’s largest port,handling 9 million containers and connecting to over 180 ports globally. Its expertise in port management and logistics is central to this project.
