Introduction to the Unified Pricing Initiative
The Agadir Port is poised for significant transformation as plans are underway to implement a unified pricing system. This initiative, spearheaded by the National Ports Agency, aims to thoroughly reassess and potentially overhaul the current pricing structure employed at this vital maritime hub. The implementation of a standardized pricing model is expected to enhance operational efficiency and improve the overall experience for users of the port.
Details of the Ongoing Study
The National Ports Agency has initiated a dedicated study, which is currently undergoing an international call for tenders identified as **n° 34/AOO/DPAR-ANP/2026**. This tender was officially launched by the Agadir Port Authority and is anticipated to attract significant interest from various stakeholders. The deadline for the submission of proposals is scheduled for **November 2, 2026**, at 10:00 AM. The estimated budget for this project is set at **1.8 million dirhams**, with a provisional guarantee requirement of **36,000 dirhams**. This initiative was previously outlined in the **2026 Annual Program of the National Ports Agency**, which indicated that the call for tenders would be published in the second quarter of 2026.
In the context of increasing activity, the Agadir Port reported a traffic volume of **7.506 million tons in 2025**, marking a **9.3% increase** from **6.866 million tons in 2024**. While the National Ports Agency has confirmed the study for the implementation of the unified pricing model, specific details regarding the future pricing mechanism remain undisclosed. Notably, it has not been confirmed whether the new system will adopt a 'per box' billing approach for containerized shipments.
