Tanger Med is fully committed to the energy transition and has set its sights on carbon neutrality for all its activities by 2030. Within this framework, an ambitious decarbonization roadmap has been set up as of 2022, coupled with a 2 billion MAD investment program, with the major objective of covering electricity needs with renewable sources.
To achieve this goal, Tanger Med is adopting a twopronged approach: on the one hand, the supply of renewable electricity; and on the other, the development of self-supply energy projects.
With regard to the first segment, as of January 1, 2025, Tanger Med Port Complex will be supplied with 100% green electricity. This renewable electricity is used to power ships in port, thanks to the Onshore Power Supply (OPS) infrastructure installed at the TC4 container terminal in the first phase, and which will be extended to the other quays of the Port Complex.
The installation allows ships to connect directly to green electricity at berth, eliminating carbon emissions for the duration of the call.
Other groundbreaking projects are also being rolled out to support the self-supply of green energy, including the installation of a 13 MW floating photovoltaic power plant, scheduled for service in 2025.
In December 2024, the Port Complex also obtained ISO 50001 certification, in recognition of the various energy efficiency projects it has launched.
These projects will enable Tanger Med to consolidate its competitiveness for the world’s major shipping lines, logistics players, and industrial companies located within the Industrial Platform, and are also in line with the objectives adopted in the summer of 2023 by the International Maritime Organization IMO, which set carbon neutrality for the port and maritime sector by 2050.
