The “Boluda Towage-Marsa Maroc” group will provide towing and assistance services at Nador West Med

The share capital of the joint venture will be divided between Boluda Towage France, holding 51%, and Marsa Maroc, holding 49%.

Following an international tender launched by Nador West Med, the consortium formed by Boluda Towage France, a subsidiary of Boluda Corporación Marítima and a global leader in maritime towing, and Marsa Maroc, has been awarded the operating license to carry out towing and assistance activities at the port of Nador West Med for a period of 20 years, starting from the fourth quarter of 2026.

The consortium will establish a joint venture to manage this operating license and make the necessary investments, including acquiring a fleet of four tugboats with a towing capacity of 80 tons, estimated at €45 million. The share capital of the joint venture will be divided between Boluda Towage France, holding 51%, and Marsa Maroc, holding 49%, according to a statement from Marsa Maroc.

This alliance will enable Marsa Maroc to strengthen its Towage Business Unit, created to leverage its specialized expertise in this field and gradually establish it as a recognized specialty.

Marsa Maroc’s Towage Business Unit currently provides this maritime service in seven ports (Nador, Al Hoceima, Mohammedia, Safi, Agadir, Laayoune, and Dakhla).

Marsa Maroc is the national leader in port terminal management, operating 25 terminals across 11 ports, handling a total traffic volume exceeding 60 million tons.
