Port Detail
Strait of Gibraltar position
Tangier Med sits opposite Algeciras (Spain) at the strategic Strait of Gibraltar, controlling the Mediterranean entrance/exit. Geographically ideal for transshipment.
Container transshipment leader
Tangier Med has surpassed every other African port for container volume, with two large terminal complexes (TC1 and TC2) operated by APM Terminals and Eurogate.
Bunker market
Bunker pricing tracks closely with Algeciras across the Strait. Vessels choose based on terminal call requirements and supplier competition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tangier Med vs Algeciras for bunker?
For vessels not already calling either terminal, Algeciras tends to have deeper supplier competition. For vessels calling Tangier Med for cargo, on-call bunkering is the natural choice.
Is Tangier Med a passenger ferry port?
A separate ferry terminal (Tangier Med Passenger) handles Morocco-Spain ferry traffic. The container ports are operationally distinct.
