Tanger Med Port Authority — Legal

Tanger Med is Africa's largest port and one of the top container ports in the Mediterranean, strategically located on the Strait of Gibraltar near Tangier in northern Morocco. The Tanger Med Special Agency (TMSA) is the public authority responsible for the development and governance of the Tanger Med port complex and its associated free trade zones, including the Tanger Free Zone, Tanger Automotive City (home to Renault-Nissan's manufacturing plant), and the Tetouan Shore offshoring park. The Legal Department handles port concession agreements, free zone operator licensing under Loi n°19-94 relative aux zones franches d'exportation, customs and bonded warehouse regulations, maritime law disputes governed by the Code de Commerce Maritime, international trade compliance with EU and WTO frameworks, real estate and infrastructure construction contracts, public procurement (marchés publics), and employment matters for the thousands of workers across the Tanger Med industrial ecosystem. Legal professionals gain specialised expertise in maritime and logistics law, special economic zone regulation, and Morocco's strategic role as a trade gateway between Europe and Africa. Tanger Med handles over 7 million TEU containers annually and is a cornerstone of Morocco's integration into global supply chains.
