Strategically positioned at the confluence of Europe, Africa, and Asia, Tanger Med Port Complex, the leading port across the Mediterranean and Africa, has placed the energy transition at the heart of its development model, underpinned by innovation, digitalisation and operational excellence.
Ranked 17th amongst 500 container ports worldwide by Alphaliner, the port consistently raises the bar in sustainable port management on an international scale. This strategy positions Tanger Med Port to address a dual imperative: meeting evolving international environmental standards while enhancing its standing as a world- class logistics hub.
A Committed Trajectory Towards Carbon Neutrality by 2030
Tanger Med Group has defined an ambitious roadmap targeting carbon neutrality across its operations by 2030. This trajectory reflects the Group’s resolve to place climate challenges at the heart of its development strategy, striking a balance between economic performance, operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
The action plan rests on four major pillars: the supply of decarbonised energy, the circular economy, notably through water and waste management, energy efficiency and the electrification of operations alongside the promotion of green mobility.
Energy Transition: Solar Program Acceleration
Firmly anchored in its broader energy transition ambitions, the port complex has embarked on a decisive roll-out of renewable energy infrastructure, materialised through a series of landmark installations: photovoltaic canopies totalling 1 MWc across Tanger Med Port Centre parking lot, and 2 MWc harnessed from building rooftops and import warehouses. Cascading across the full breadth of the logistics and port ecosystem, this solar programme reflects the Group’s commitment to securing greater energy autonomy whilst decisively reducing its carbon footprint over the long term.
Floating Solar Park at the Oued Rmel Dam
Following the completion of construction in 2024, the floating photovoltaic park at the Oued Rmel Dam is now operational. Spanning over 8 hectares in the immediate vicinity of Tanger Med Port Complex, this project is deeply rooted in a joint optimisation logic of energy and hydraulic resources.
Boasting an installed capacity of 13 MWc and an estimated annual output of 20 GWh, the park is set to feed the port complex with clean electricity, in direct support of the Group’s overarching decarbonisation programme.
Beyond energy generation, the floating panel technology delivers a compelling environmental dividend by curbing water evaporation, with the potential to reduce reservoir volume loss by up to 30%. Full commissioning of the floating installation is anticipated in the first half of 2026.
Onshore Power Supply (OPS): Electrical Connection Infrastructure for Ships at Berth
The Onshore Power Supply (OPS) project represents a structural leap forward in curtailing the environmental footprint of port activities. The system pursues three core objectives: reducing CO2 and atmospheric pollutant emissions from ships auxiliary engines at berth, achieving meaningful energy savings, and mitigating noise disturbances within the port.
The project is being deployed across two phases, with a final target of nine connection points. The pilot phase has been successfully completed at Terminal TC4, with the installation of a conversion station capable of powering one mega vessel (7.5 MVA) or two medium-sized vessels (2 x 4 MVA simultaneously). The station was successfully commissioned in 2025. Building on this milestone, the generalization phase is now underway, with detailed technical studies launched to extend the OPS system across all container terminals within the Tanger Med complex, with progressive commissioning planned through to 2029.
Circular Economy: Launch of the Industrial Waste Sorting and Recovery Centre
In 2025, Tanger Med launched an industrial waste sorting and recovery centre (DIB) within it industrial platform. Spanning an area of 15,234 m², this infrastructure has a processing capacity of up to 29,000 tonnes per year.
The centre pursues three interlinked ambitions: meaningfully reducing environmental impact through a significant decrease in landfilled waste volumes, reinforcing the attractiveness and competitiveness of the Group’s activity zones, and supporting the special zone giga- factories in scaling up source level sorting and embedding circular economy practices across their operations.
Power Purchase Agreement: 100% Renewable Energy Supply
2025 marks a decisive milestone in the Group’s decarbonization journey, with the transition to a fully decarbonized electricity supply. Through operational Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Tanger Med Port Complex now draws 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, a commitment that powerfully reinforces the coherence and ambition of its overarching climate strategy.
