Morocco: competing against the best European ports in the MediterraneanMorocco has four major ports: Jorf Lasfar and Casablanca, both gateway ports, and the two Tanger Meds, mainly transshipment ports. By the way, do you know why the Red Sea is called Red? If Morocco had listened to those defeatist voices, it would still have a medium-size port in Tanger, but they built Tanger Med, then Tanger Med II, and now they are building Nador Med. Morocco has shown that YOU CAN COMPETE against European ports! In the case of Sudan, you have the Maritime Administration Directorate (MAD) and, more importantly, the Sea Ports Corporation, an interesting attempt to privatize Sudanese ports’ administration.
