The Tanger Automotive City (TAC) industrial platform has taken over from the 350 hectare Tangier Free Zone, which had become a victim of its own success, reaching saturation point. Launched in 2013 with the commercialisation of an initial 55 ha section, the TAC will eventually cover some 300 ha, devoted to the various branches of the automotive industry and their logistical requirements. It supports Renault Tanger Med, a 280 ha free zone located just a few kilometres away, in which the French carmaker has invested 1 billion euros with the aim of producing some 400,000 vehicles for export from 2015. The operation is set to generate 6,000 direct jobs, and a further 30,000 indirect jobs.

The tour of the port and city of Tangier will afford an opportunity to review the progress of the Kingdom of Morocco’s first ever port site conversion project. It will also provide an excellent insight into the entirely redesigned port-city relationship, which aims to give Tangier a new, high added-value tourist and cultural appeal, based on both new port facilities (yachting, cruise, fast ferry) and amenities in this brand new city port district, located very close to the old town : the “Place du petit Socco”, the “Place du Grand Socco”, the “Parc de la Mendoubia”.
