The port complex will have important economic effects in terms of jobs, creation of added value and foreign investment. In addition to the economic effects of the operation of the port, there will be significant effects resulting from its construction, particularly through foreign investments, and others from the operation of the free zones (direct and indirect added value, direct gains, jobs and foreign investment).
A draft loan contract of $180 mln to fund the expansion works of Tanger Med port was signed in October 2008 for building a second deepwater port, dubbed "Tangier Med II", to meet the growing demand for container handling at international level in sea transport. The new port facilities, scheduled to be operational by the second half of 2012, will include two new container terminals with a total length of 2,800 m and an additional nominal capacity of 5 million containers.[10] Final official approval for "Tangier Med II" was received on 7 January 2009, with actual construction started on 17 June 2009.[11][12] In November 2010 the European Investment Bank (EIB) signed a loan of €200 million for the extension of the port.[13]
The port is expected to reach full capacity by 2015, and to operate 8 million containers, 7 million passengers, 700,000 trucks, 2 million vehicles, and 10 million MT of oil products.[14] When completed in 2018, it is expected to be the busiest port on the Mediterranean.[15] The port's turnover keeps increasing: it handled 65 million tons of goods in 2019, jumped to 75 million tons in 2020 and 101 million tons in 2021.[16]
