At Tanger Med, the bigger story is what moves behind the port.

Tanger Med handled 11,106,164 twenty-foot equivalent units in 2025, an increase of 8.4%, according to the port authority’s February 2026 activity report. It attributed part of the growth to the latest extension of Terminal TC4.

Throughput is only the first measure

A container count captures movement through a port. It does not directly measure the domestic value created by the goods inside. Transshipment, imported components and exports made locally contribute differently to an economy.

The same report recorded 535,203 trucks in 2025, up 3.6%. Industrial and agricultural exports supported this growth. Vehicle activity moved in the other direction: the terminals handled 526,862 vehicles, down 12%.

Following the industrial connections

These contrasting movements are a reminder to look beyond a single headline number. The commercial question is how reliably manufacturers can connect suppliers, factories and customers. Predictable schedules, handling costs and access to transport all affect that calculation.

Our analysis: the deeper opportunity lies in the business activity attached to a logistics hub. Local procurement, engineering, maintenance and higher-value production can matter as much as the volume crossing the quay. To assess that opportunity, investors need company-level evidence alongside port statistics.
