Agence Nationale des Ports

What Agence Nationale des Ports does

Agence Nationale des Ports (ANP) is Morocco's national port authority, established in 2006 under Law 15-02 as a public establishment (établissement public) under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Equipment and Water. ANP exercises regulatory authority over 37 of Morocco's public ports across 10 regional directorates (excluding Tanger Méditerranée), with a mandate covering port management, ship movement coordination, port police, security, environmental protection, infrastructure development, and concession oversight. The agency is owned by the Kingdom of Morocco, has 866 employees, and generated 2,993 million MAD of revenue and 405 million MAD of net profit in 2025.

ANP's commercial activity is anchored by the PORTNET national single window platform (launched 2008, operated by PORTNET S.A., a subsidiary created in 2010 with 6 million MAD initial capital). PORTNET dematerialises foreign trade documentary flows between ANP, customs (ADII), food safety (ONSSA), merchant marine (MCDI), banks, maritime agents, freight forwarders, importers, and exporters. Supporting digital products include Smart Gate (container tracking), GAP (electronic port access management), Portail Client, E-Facture (supplier invoicing), Mouvement des Navires (vessel tracking), and the OCPM Observatory for port competitiveness analytics. ANP also operates the Institut de Formation Portuaire (IFP) for port training.

ANP's revenue model is transaction-based: port dues on vessels, goods, and passengers; water and electricity supply tariffs; public domain occupation and concession fees; ship consignation services; and PORTNET platform services. In 2024, ANP managed 99.9 million tonnes of port traffic (1.6 million TEU containers, 2.3 million passengers) and committed 1.3 billion MAD of capex within a 2024-2026 investment programme exceeding 2.6 billion MAD. ANP sells primarily to shipping companies, freight forwarders, importers/exporters, port operators, and concession holders; institutional partners include ADII, FM6E, DGSN, Civil Defence, and Gendarmerie Royale.
