Tangier Port (UN/LOCODE: MATNG)

Tangier, Morocco | Atlantic–Gibraltar gateway | Seaport logistics profile

Tangier is a strategic Moroccan seaport positioned near the Strait of Gibraltar, connecting North African cargo with European, Mediterranean, Atlantic and West African trade lanes. The supplied port record identifies MATNG at 35.788000° N, 5.799000° W and classifies the location as a major container, passenger, truck and vehicle logistics gateway. Its industrial platform supports automotive, aeronautics, food processing, logistics and textile activity. For our platform, the key planning issue is not simply port selection: the exact terminal, vessel service, cargo type, customs status and inland delivery point must be confirmed before booking, because “Tangier” may refer to different port facilities and operating arrangements.

The following profile uses the supplied MATNG record as the primary reference. Terminal assignment, acceptance windows, vessel restrictions, charges and transit commitments remain subject to carrier and terminal confirmation.

Key Highlights

Gibraltar Strait Location

Its position supports transshipment and feeder connections between Europe, the Mediterranean, Atlantic markets and North Africa.

Industrial Cargo Base

The surrounding industrial ecosystem is relevant to automotive components, vehicles, aerospace-related goods, textiles, food products and logistics cargo.

Container-Oriented Gateway

Containerized exports and imports are central to the logistics profile, with route selection dependent on the confirmed terminal and carrier service.

Road-Critical Inland Flow

Moroccan delivery performance depends heavily on truck availability, appointment coordination, customs release and the final consignee location.

Strict Planning Discipline

Our service team recommends early verification of cut-off, export documentation, dangerous-goods acceptance and terminal-specific instructions.

Port Data at a Glance

UN/LOCODE	MATNG
Port and city	TANGIER, Tangier
Country / region	Morocco / Africa
Coordinates	35.788000° N, 5.799000° W
Port category	Seaport with container, passenger, vehicle, truck and industrial-logistics functions
Record-based capacity statement	The supplied record describes handling capacity of up to 9 million containers, 7 million passengers, 700,000 trucks and vehicle exports of up to 1 million units. This statement is retained as supplied and should be checked against current official port publications before use in a tender or contract.
Record-based vessel parameters	Maximum recorded vessel length: 283 m; maximum draught: 5.8 m; maximum deadweight: 4,200 t. Actual acceptance depends on terminal, berth, vessel and operating conditions.

Facilities & Services

Container handling: Containerized import and export flows are the main focus for liner bookings; the carrier must confirm terminal nomination, equipment availability and receiving status.
Vehicle and Ro-Ro logistics: The port area is associated with vehicle and truck movements. Vehicle dimensions, lashing requirements, inspection status and terminal acceptance rules should be checked in advance.
Passenger and ferry activity: Passenger-related operations can create local traffic and gate pressure during seasonal peaks. Commercial cargo plans should allow for possible operational congestion.
Industrial and logistics platform: The surrounding platform supports manufacturing, storage, consolidation, distribution and value-added logistics. Warehouse selection should be based on customs status and delivery geography.
Road collection and delivery: Trucking is a critical part of the port chain. Our team coordinates loading appointments, driver documents, empty-container return instructions and consignee delivery windows.
Customs and inspection interface: Cargo may require documentary review, physical inspection or scanning. Release timing depends on customs status, commodity, documents and authority instructions rather than vessel arrival alone.

Routes & Transit-Time Planning

Common Trade Orientation

Planning commonly considers Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia–Europe connections, Atlantic markets and North African regional distribution. The available routing depends on the shipping line, transshipment plan and cargo equipment.

Transshipment Variables

For cargo without a suitable direct service, the number of transshipment ports, connection reliability, terminal handling and schedule integrity can materially affect the end-to-end result.

Door-to-Port vs. Door-to-Door

Ocean transit is only one component. Export haulage, terminal receiving, customs processing, inland trucking and consignee appointment availability should be included in the shipment plan.

How We Quote Time

Our service team provides a carrier-specific planning range only after confirming origin, destination, container type, cargo readiness, terminal, sailing and inland delivery requirements. No generic transit time should be treated as a guarantee.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Manufacturing supply chains: Automotive parts, finished vehicles, machinery, electrical goods and production materials are relevant to the Tangier industrial zone and wider Moroccan distribution network.
Aerospace and industrial cargo: High-value components require careful packaging, cargo insurance review, serial-number control and precise delivery appointment management.
Food and consumer products: Food processing inputs, packaged products, textiles and general consumer cargo may require commodity-specific documents, labeling or sanitary controls.
Regional distribution: Tangier can support Moroccan inland delivery and cross-border commercial planning, but the final route should be assessed against customs procedure, road distance, truck capacity and delivery restrictions.
Project and oversized cargo: Dimensions, lifting points, axle weight, route surveys and terminal handling feasibility must be approved before equipment or vessel space is committed.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Shipping instructions, verified gross mass, export declarations, container delivery and terminal receiving cut-offs are separate milestones. Our team checks each deadline against the nominated service rather than relying on a standard port timetable.
Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, package details and safety documentation before booking. Carrier and terminal approval is required; late DG disclosure can cause rejection or rollover.
Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document data, origin information, permits and any commodity-specific certificates must be consistent. Incorrect consignee, HS classification or customs value can delay release.
Inspection and inland delivery: Keep cargo available for possible scanning or physical examination. Confirm whether the delivery is customs-cleared, bonded or under another procedure, and verify truck, chassis, appointment and empty-return instructions.

Regulatory and terminal requirements can change. Our service team confirms the current carrier circular, terminal instruction and Moroccan customs requirements for every booking.

Shipping Tips from Our Service Team

State the exact cargo description, HS code, package dimensions, gross weight, container type, ready date and final delivery city when requesting a quote for MATNG.
Request terminal and carrier cut-offs in writing before positioning the container, especially for dangerous goods, reefer cargo, oversized units and factory-loaded exports.
Use moisture-resistant export packaging and secure cargo for sea movement; for machinery and vehicles, provide photographs, lifting points, dimensions and securing instructions at booking stage.
Prepare a contingency plan for rollover, inspection or truck shortage. Depending on cargo and destination, our team can compare alternative sailing windows, transshipment options, nearby gateway arrangements or inland delivery solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MATNG the same as every Tangier terminal?

No. MATNG identifies Tangier in the UN/LOCODE system, while the operational terminal, gate, customs arrangement and carrier service must be confirmed for each shipment. Our team verifies the nominated facility before booking.

Can I use a standard cut-off time for all Tangier shipments?

No. Cut-off varies by carrier, terminal, vessel, equipment, cargo type and export procedure. Verified gross mass, shipping instructions, dangerous-goods approval and container receiving may each have different deadlines.

What documents are normally needed for a container export?

Typical requirements include commercial invoice, packing list, accurate shipping instructions, export and customs data, verified gross mass and any permits or certificates required by the commodity. The final list depends on origin, cargo and destination.

How should dangerous goods be booked?

Send complete DG particulars before space confirmation. The carrier and terminal must approve the declaration, packaging and handling conditions. Do not deliver a DG container until the acceptance and receiving instructions are confirmed.

What causes delays after vessel arrival?

Common causes include document discrepancies, customs inspection, missing permits, terminal release conditions, truck or appointment shortages and incomplete consignee instructions. Our team monitors each handover rather than treating arrival as final delivery.
