We are pleased to advise that the port of Casablanca has reoponed.

For safety reasons, all vessel movements were suspended last week after 85 containers on a vessel bound for Barcelona fell overboard in the port entrance on Wednesday night.

Port authorities launched major recovery and risk assessment operations with the support of a helicopter, five military police and Royal Navy trawlers, and several tugs.

It is thought that high waves and a strong swell contributed to the accident.

Containers are now washing up on Morocco’s shores.

The port of Casablanca is in full expansion.

In September 2025, King Mohammed VI inaugurated a modern fishing port as well as a state-of -the-art shipyard, cruise terminal and administrative facilities.
