Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is preparing a nearly six-month study focused on the decarbonization, digitalization, and cybersecurity of Morocco's port system, including Tanger Med and the Port of Casablanca. The mission is scheduled from September 2, 2026, to February 26, 2027.
The study aims to assess current environmental impacts and propose measures to reduce carbon emissions at these key maritime hubs. Tanger Med is one of Africa's busiest container ports, while Casablanca handles a significant portion of Morocco's commercial shipping.
JICA's involvement reflects ongoing Japan-Morocco cooperation in infrastructure and sustainable development. The agency has previously supported projects in Morocco related to water management and transportation.
Digitalization and cybersecurity components will address port efficiency and protection against cyber threats, which are increasingly critical for global trade logistics.
