With additional personnel and new offices in the country, the company hopes to realize its growth ambitions in one of the most attractive markets in&nbsp;North Africa. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hapag Lloyd operates&nbsp;at the Tanger-Med Port through a 10 percent stake in the facility&#039;s brand new&nbsp;Container Terminal 3 (TC3).&nbsp;Hapag Lloyd said that part of the motive for its&nbsp;expansion in&nbsp;Morocco is to grow its capacity in the refrigerated container transport sector. According to statistics by the Ministry of Agriculture, Morocco&rsquo;s exports of fresh fruits and vegetables between September 1, 2020 and July 27, 2021, reached nearly two million tonnes, up from 1.88 million tonnes&nbsp;during a similar period last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Moroccan economy has grown steadily over the last years. Many Moroccan customers have already experienced Hapag-Lloyd&acute;s services. With the opening of our new representation in the country, we strive to meet customers&acute; requirements for proximity and quality of service,&quot;&nbsp;said Juan Pablo Richards, Senior Managing Director Region South Europe of Hapag-Lloyd.<\/p>\n<p>Hapag-Lloyd will have three offices in Morocco, with headquarters based at Casablanca. The other two satellite offices will be at Tangier and Agadir, served by 47 employees.<\/p>\n<p>Morocco&rsquo;s Tanger Med is the busiest container terminal in Africa, processing over five&nbsp;million TEU in 2020. It also outperforms other regional ports in the Mediterranean region, including&nbsp;Valencia, Algeciras and Genoa. This can be attributed to Morocco&rsquo;s implementation of attractive business tax rates and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritime-executive.com\/article\/tanger-med-port-propels-morocco-s-booming-auto-sector\">an innovative port business model<\/a> attracting global investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hapag-Lloyd is also looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritime-executive.com\/article\/hapag-lloyd-intensifies-competition-in-east-africa-with-new-service\">grow its operations elsewhere in Africa<\/a>. Eearlier this year, it introduced a new container cargo service to East Africa&rsquo;s leading ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam. It also opened a new office in Kenya.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/>News source: http:\/\/maritime-executive.com <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maritime-executive.com\/article\/hapag-lloyd-takes-competition-to-bustling-moroccan-port?rand=17996\" rel=\"noopener\">Go to original post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German Shipping line Hapag-Lloyd has announced it will set up a&nbsp;permanent base of operation in Morocco&nbsp;in a move to expand its global network.
