“Marsa Maroc”, the largest port operator in the Kingdom of Morocco, continues to expand its regional and international presence with a new investment in an oil terminal and a gas-dedicated port in the “Damer Joj” region of the Republic of Djibouti, located on the shores of the Gulf of Aden. This investment, made through “Damer Joj Oil FZE,” reflects the company’s strategic direction to expand the scope of its logistical services in the region, which is one of the world’s most important maritime hubs.

Djibouti, with its strategic geographical location between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, serves as a key connection point between the markets of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Through this project, “Marsa Maroc” aims to support economic development in the East African region, enhance port infrastructure, and increase the capacity to receive oil and gas shipments, thereby helping accelerate trade flows and boosting investment opportunities in the sector.

The project includes the construction and development of advanced facilities to receive, store, and distribute petroleum and gas products, making “Damer Joj” a key center for energy supplies in the region. Additionally, this project will help strengthen Djibouti’s ability to play a central role in oil and gas trade, create new job opportunities, and contribute to the development of local skills.

This investment is an important step for “Marsa Maroc” in reinforcing its role as a major operator in logistics and port services, especially with the rapid growth in demand for infrastructure in the region. It comes at a time when global oil and gas markets are undergoing a significant transformation towards energy sustainability and the modernization of transportation and storage technologies.

This project reflects “Marsa Maroc’s” commitment to expanding its investment network in new markets and enhancing its ability to support the regional economy by improving supply chains and facilitating connectivity between the major energy markets in the region.
