HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
The Port of Casablanca, starting Friday, September 18, 2026, has implemented new arrangements for traffic organization. This is according to a gubernatorial decision to temporarily and daily reopen Gate No. 4 during nighttime, in an effort to reduce pressure and improve the flow of vehicle traffic within the port.
Under the decision issued by the Governor of the Casablanca-Settat region, Mohamed Amhideh, Gate No. 4 will be open from 9 PM to 7 AM, allowing for the distribution of entry and exit traffic over a wider time period, especially during hours that typically experience high pressure at some port entrances.
This measure replaces gubernatorial decision No. 2026/15, issued on June 1, 2026, which was canceled by the new decision that came into effect on September 18.
The new organization aims to manage vehicle traffic more flexibly within the Port of Casablanca, considering the volume of activity at this vital facility and the resulting continuous movement of vehicles, stakeholders, and operators.
The decision also stipulates that various public administrations and institutions operating within the port, along with port operators and contractors, must adhere to the new provisions and work according to the specified conditions.
Regarding the implementation of the decision, the task has been assigned to the public authorities and administrative services present within the port, while the monitoring of its application has been entrusted to the port authority.
Security services have been tasked with enforcing the provisions related to traffic flow within the port, including organizing vehicle movement and ensuring adherence to the approved rules.
This measure relies on utilizing the nighttime period for better traffic distribution and reducing vehicle congestion during periods of higher pressure, which may contribute to improving mobility within the port.
The new measure is expected to undergo implementation and monitoring by various stakeholders, pending an evaluation of its contribution to reducing congestion and improving traffic management within the Port of Casablanca.
