Morocco selects Mohammedia Port to host the country's first FSRU

The Moroccan National Ports Agency (ANP) has selected the Mohammedia Port near Casablanca to host the country's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). In April 2021, the country issued a call for tenders for the construction and operation of FSRU with a capacity of 1.1 bcm/year by 2025, 1.7 bcm/year by 2030 and 3 bcm by 2040.

In October 2021, Algeria decided to abandon the 11.5 bcm/year GME (Gaz Maghreb Europe) gas pipeline crossing Morocco to supply Spain and Portugal, due to tensions with Morocco. For the transit fee, Algeria was giving Morocco a portion of the transported gas (around 1 bcm/year, which represents 90% of the country's gas demand). Morocco had also a gas supply agreement with Sonatrach.
