The EIB -financed works consist primarily of the repair, strengthening and upgrading of the basic infrastructure (breakwaters, quays and jetties) of several Morrocan ports. Dredging and desilting works, as well as a general sediment study, will also be carried out.
The project forms part of the National Economical and Social Development Plan (2000-2004) of the Kingdom of Morocco. As 98% of Morocco's trade passes through its ports, the project will contribute to regional and national socio-economic development. The upgrading of port infrastructure will also foster private-sector development and the project is therefore in line with the objectives of the Bank's FEMIP facility.
The Bank's environmental rules will apply.
The various components of the project will be put out to public tender in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement, including, when required, publication in the EU Official Journal.
