Massive dredging project finished in Morocco

Last year, Jan De Nul Group finalized a new deep-water port in Nador, Morocco.

Strategically located and equipped with modern infrastructure, the port is set to drive economic growth in the region.

Located on the western side of the ‘Cap des Trois Fourches’ peninsula, near the Nador city, the new port is close to the main East-West shipping routes for containerisation and transport of oil and gas products throughout the Mediterranean region.

Working in the area since 2016, JDN has utilized numerous dredging vessels to remove over 26 million m³ of dredged material.

The new complex will consist of :

• a new deep-water port equipped with significant capacities for the development of an energy pool (handling, packaging, storage of hydrocarbons and derivatives), container transhipment and bulk product processing;
• an integrated platform/free trade zone, open to renowned investors, designed to accommodate the globally active companies and supported by the port.
