Moulay Abdellah Commune (Province of El Jadida), (MAP) – HM King Mohammed VI inaugurated, on Thursday in the rural commune of Moulay Abdellah (province of El Jadida), the multipurpose terminal of Jorf Lasfar port, worth 434 million dirhams.
– The new terminal will make it possible to handle around 2 million tonnes yearly
The new terminal is meant to reinforce the infrastructure of the port, which accounts for 24% of national port traffic, in order to meet the ever growing traffic in the port.
