New Marina Planned For Tangier

A new marina is planned for the Moroccan port of Tangier. The completion of the new deep sea commercial harbour is now complete and work will now begin on the marina in the old Harbour.

The moving of the deep sea port 20 km away from the city will alleviate traffic congestion and provide a more leisurely atmosphere in the old harbour. "This major project will make the port of Tangier and its bay one of the top marinas and cruise destinations in the Mediterranean," said President of Tangier Port Development, Abdelouafi Laftit, in a statement recently. Mr. Laftit also said that additional space will be available for hotels and other tourist activities in an effort to promote new services in the port area and the city of Tangier.
