The largest port in Morocco, the port of Casablanca is a versatile port with a strong emphasis on commercial trade. The port spans over 450 ha, including 256 ha of platforms and features more than 8 km of quays. It can accommodate up to 40 ships at a time and features a commercial port, a fishing port, a marina, as well as facilities and infrastructure for launching and docking ships in shipyards.
It is located in the center of the Moroccan Atlantic coast at the end of an almost unsheltered roadstead, between the rocky headlands of El Hank to the west and Oukacha to the east. The port is connected to the east at Boulevard Ben Aicha and to the West at Boulevards des Almohades and des FAR; Both of these large streets serve the five gateways to the commercial port.
It is equipped with a 17 km long rail network operated by the ONCF, which travels along the fence of the port from Gate #1 of the train station, past the pier where the phosphates jetty extends into the marshalling zone.
