In his speech, Mr. Hassan Abkari, Managing Director of Tanger Med Port, stressed that the logistics platform of Tanger Med, which is located in the Strait of Gibraltar at the junction of the world’s most important shipping lines, will allow Brazilian exporters and producers to reach 600 million potential consumers in Western European markets and enjoy the benefits of the network of shipping lines connecting the Port to the rest of the world, calling for examining the various possible aspects of cooperation to achieve mutual benefits. In turn, Mr. Rachid Houari, Managing Director of the logistics Zone Medhub and Mr. Idriss Aarabi, Director of Export-Import Operations reviewed Tanger Med port and industrial operations for 2021, as well as the network of shipping lines linking the Port with the rest of the world’s ports, particularly those in Brazil and Western Europe.
