Port Profile · UN/LOCODE MATTU

Port of Tetouan, Morocco

Port of Tetouan is a Mediterranean seaport in northern Morocco, identified by UN/LOCODE MATTU. It is situated near the Martil Valley and approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Tangier, placing it within the wider Strait of Gibraltar logistics environment. For international forwarding, Tetouan should be assessed as a regional port option whose suitability depends on the nominated terminal, vessel service, cargo type and inland destination. Our service team can coordinate carrier confirmation, export or import documentation, customs preparation and road transport planning before cargo is released to the port.

Key Highlights

Located in northern Morocco on the Mediterranean side, with geographic proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar and the Tangier logistics area.
UN/LOCODE MATTU must be used consistently in shipping instructions, commercial documents and customs-related data where required.
Service selection should be based on the confirmed terminal, actual vessel rotation and whether the cargo is containerized, breakbulk or project cargo.
Road planning is important for Tetouan-area deliveries; vehicle access, appointment requirements and local unloading conditions should be checked before dispatch.
For time-sensitive cargo, our team should compare a Tetouan routing with alternative northern Morocco gateways after checking total cost, transshipment exposure and final-mile distance.

Facilities & Services

Maritime handling: Our team can arrange the nominated carrier or local agent confirmation for the applicable cargo handling channel. Equipment availability and acceptance conditions must be confirmed for each booking.
Container operations: Containerized cargo may require verified terminal receiving instructions, equipment type, gross mass details, seal information and cut-off notices before delivery.
Breakbulk and general cargo: Non-containerized cargo requires advance review of dimensions, lifting points, packaging, stowage method and terminal handling capability.
Storage and yard planning: Any free-time, storage, demurrage or detention terms are service-specific and should be obtained in writing before cargo arrival.
Customs and inspection coordination: Our service team can prepare document handover and coordinate with the appointed customs broker, while inspection selection and release remain subject to Moroccan authorities.
Inland distribution: Road delivery can be planned from the port area to Tetouan and nearby destinations, subject to truck availability, access restrictions, delivery appointments and cargo dimensions.

Routes & Transit Times

Typical trade orientation: Cargo may be evaluated against Mediterranean, European, North African and other international trade corridors, subject to the carrier’s current rotation and any transshipment arrangement.
Service structure: A booking may involve direct calling, feeder connection or transshipment. Our team will verify the actual routing rather than assume that a published regional port list guarantees a call at MATTU.
Transit planning: Transit time depends on vessel schedule, connection port, port acceptance, customs status, weather, equipment availability and inland delivery conditions. Any quoted time is indicative and must be confirmed at booking.
Alternative gateway review: For large volumes, urgent cargo or specialized equipment, we can compare MATTU with another northern Morocco gateway based on end-to-end cost and operational risk, not ocean transit alone.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland: Tetouan and surrounding northern Morocco production, trading and consumption areas form the most natural inland service scope.
Regional connectivity: The port’s position supports evaluation of road distribution toward the northern Moroccan corridor; route feasibility depends on the final address and truck type.
Common cargo profiles: General merchandise, consumer goods, industrial inputs, machinery, project components and other standard import or export commodities may be considered, subject to terminal acceptance.
Special cargo: Dangerous goods, oversized units, temperature-controlled cargo and cargo requiring lifting or special storage need pre-approval and a written handling plan.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Vessel cut-off, documentation cut-off, verified gross mass submission and terminal receiving windows vary by service. Our team should obtain the latest notice from the carrier or appointed agent before truck dispatch.
Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, package details and safety documentation. Acceptance must be confirmed before booking and delivery.
Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any commodity-specific permits should be checked for consistency. HS classification and import requirements should be confirmed with the appointed Moroccan customs broker.
Inspection and inland delivery: Customs inspection, documentary review or physical examination can change release timing. Keep cargo accessible, ensure seal details match the documents and avoid booking a fixed delivery slot before release is confirmed.

Shipping Tips

Send the complete cargo profile early: commodity, HS code, package count, gross weight, dimensions, container type, dangerous-goods status and final delivery address.
Request written confirmation of the nominated terminal, receiving window, documentation cut-off, empty-container procedure and applicable free-time terms before arranging inland transport.
Use seaworthy export packaging, visible marks and matching carton or pallet counts. For machinery and project cargo, provide drawings, lifting points and centre-of-gravity information in advance.
Ask our service team to compare MATTU with alternative gateways when the shipment is urgent, requires special equipment, or has a final destination outside the Tetouan-area road network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use MATTU as the port code for Tetouan shipments?

Yes. MATTU is the supplied UN/LOCODE for TETOUAN. Our team will still verify the carrier booking record, terminal nomination and transport document details before release of shipping instructions.

Does a booking to Tetouan guarantee a direct vessel call?

No. The final service may be direct, feeder-based or transshipped depending on the carrier’s current network. We will confirm the actual routing and connection points for the requested sailing.

How should I plan the delivery truck?

Wait for confirmed terminal receiving instructions and cargo readiness before dispatch. Truck planning should include container or cargo dimensions, appointment rules, customs status, possible inspection and the consignee’s unloading capability.

What information is required for dangerous goods?

Provide the complete classification and packing information, including UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group where applicable, package type and safety documentation. Carrier and terminal acceptance must be obtained before delivery.

Can the platform arrange an alternative Morocco gateway?

Yes. Our service team can compare routing options using the final destination, cargo type, equipment needs, schedule, transshipment risk and total inland cost. The alternative should be selected only after current carrier and terminal conditions are checked.

Data Sources & Provenance

The port code, name, country, city, coordinates and descriptive location data in this module are based on the supplied port master record for MATTU. Operational details such as carrier routing, terminal receiving windows, cut-offs, charges, equipment availability, customs treatment and inspection timing are changeable and must be verified for each shipment.

For port-regulatory and national port-network verification, our team may cross-check official Moroccan port information through anp.org.ma. The source domain supports authority-level verification; it does not constitute a guarantee of a specific sailing, terminal service, tariff or cargo acceptance condition.

No unsupported berth, draft, throughput, vessel-frequency, transit-time or handling-capacity figures are presented. Final operational instructions should be confirmed with the nominated carrier, terminal, customs broker and inland transport provider.
