The port of Casablanca has received its first Supramax bulk carrier, a 55,000-tonne vessel chartered by Moroccan sugar conglomerate Cosumar. The ship docked at Marsa Maroc’s multipurpose terminal, marking a significant milestone for the port’s infrastructure. This arrival is the first to utilize the recently completed deepening of the port’s quays to a draft of 12 meters. The project allows for larger vessels to access the facility, increasing cargo capacity and efficiency. Cosumar will utilize the ship to import raw sugar. This development signals an expansion of Casablanca’s capabilities in handling bulk commodities and supporting Morocco’s sugar industry. The news was first reported by Médias24, a leading Moroccan economic news source.
