Tanger Med and the General Confederation of Moroccan Companies (CGEM) organised the launch for the Freight Exchange in the presence of Mrs. Miriem BENSALAH CHAQROUN, President of the Confederation, Mr. Fouad BRINI, President of Tanger Med and the economic players of the transport and logistics. 

The freight exchange is a transactional electronic platform interconnecting shippers and carriers in accordance with the functional requirements of the CGEM. It is part of a committed approach designed to digitalize and improve the services offered to the customers. 
This new tool includes a range of transport and logistics services giving Moroccan SMEs and transport professionals, in particular, a simple and efficient tool allowing them to optimize costs and reduce empty returns. 

It should be noted that the CGEM has undertaken initiatives for business facilitation and procedure’s simplification for several years in the context of digitalization. 

As a reminder, 51,328,150 tons of goods were processed and more than 88 billion dirhams of Moroccan products were exported through the Tanger Med port in 2017. The Tanger Med port complex is the first export port in Morocco with worldwide connectivity to 174 ports and 74 countries including 37 African ports.
