Port of Casablanca has Reopened

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.

Tunisia: Bizerte Back in Business

 

As advised previously, following a fire last July, Bizerte’s mobile bridge was closed, making access to the port impossible and preventing several vessels from sailing.

Following completion of the repairs, the « Commissaire Régional d’Equipement de Bizerte » (Regional Commissioner for Bizerte’s Infrastructure) announced that the bridge underwent successful tests at midnight on 17 November 2023.

By Sunday, 19 November 2023, Bizerte Bridge was fully functional, and the port has advised that several vessels which had been stranded in the port since July 2023 have finally been able to set sail.
