First mediterranean and african port is officially moroccan

[Hamilcar]

The port of Tanger Med officially became in 2020 the largest container port in Africa and the Mediterranean :

First container port in the Mediterranean basin, Tanger Med leaves Algeciras and Valence far behind. In 2020, the Moroccan platform located on the Strait of Gibraltar handled 5.7 million TEU containers, up 19%

Morocco is also building a new port of the same size near Nador :

what is the total freight traffic of this port? In the photo that you have put, it says 81 million tons and algeciras are 98.178.121. Although maybe the information in that photo is still outdated.

can you show me your source ? maybe the year is different. In their 2019 annual report, it says first in terms of port capacity (https://www.tmpa.ma/wp-content/uploa...2019-Web-1.pdf)

In terms of trafic, I've read Algeciras has a capacity of 5,1 millions TEU in 2020 while Tangier med has 9 millions

I took them from wikipedia, but searching in google the first searches say that in 2020 they were 107.3 million tons.

TEU is is related to container?
I mean that the port of Tanger is the largest container port as you say, but not necessarily the largest or the first port .

yes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty...quivalent_unit ) and in terms of tonnage strictly, Algeciras seems to be ahead of it but overall if we take all the activities into account Tanger Med is the first one (in Africa and the mediterranean and ranked the 35th busiest container terminal in the world by Lloyd’s List). The growth is also exponential compared to Algeciras
