• This partnership represents a first step toward a strategic collaboration, paving the way for a future concession of a multipurpose terminal at the port of Monrovia.
• This agreement is part of a shared ambition to modernize and enhance the development of Liberia’s port infrastructure.
Following an international call for tenders, Marsa Maroc was awarded a management contract on behalf of the National Port Authority of Liberia. Under this agreement, Marsa Maroc, through its subsidiary Marsa Maroc International Logistics (MMIL), will carry out rehabilitation works, deploy port equipment, and provide its expertise in bulk handling to operate two jetties at the port of Monrovia. The project is scheduled to enter into gradual service starting in the first half of 2026.
This management contract represents the first step in a strategic partnership aimed, in a second phase, at concluding a concession agreement for the development and operation of a new multipurpose terminal at the port of Monrovia that plays a pivotal role in Liberia’s port landscape.
