Tanger Med port is a significant logistical hub on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Tanger Med Group oversees the port complex, which includes “Tanger Med Port 1”, the “Passenger and Ro-Ro Port”, and “Tanger Med Port 2.” Within this structure, the Tanger Med Port Authority (TMPA) plays a key role in the development and management of the port complex.
