ASHLAND CITY RIVER PORT PROJECT

Morocco is building Nador West Med, a new deepwater Mediterranean port, scheduled to be operational in the second
half of 2026. The port be Morocco’s deepest at 23 meters, will include quays dedicated to exporting green hydrogen once
production begins.

It will offer 800 hectares for industrial activity, with plans to expand to 5000 hectares, surpassing Tanger Med’s industrial zones.
The port will also host Morocco’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal – a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) –
linked by a pipeline to industrial hubs in the northwest, as Morocco pushes investments in natural gas and renewable energy to
reduce dependence on coal.

The facility will be surrounded by 1,600 hectares for industrial activities and 5,200 hectares for farmland irrigated by desalinated
water.
