The Cruise industry faces many sustainability challenges, including waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, and the environmental impact of port activities. To this end, the role of all stakeholders in the value chain is very important. 

As part of the development of cruise activities at Tangier City Port, our commitment to stakeholders for the protection of the environment and biodiversity, and our active participation in the ECO-CRUISING FU TOUR Project aimed at paving the way for an environmentally friendly cruise industry, concrete improvement actions are undertaken daily within all departments to actively contribute to Sustainable Tourism. 

Throughout the reconversion of Tangier City Port Area, the environmental aspect has always been a major preoccupation, along with sustainable development and the preservation of nature. ​For this purpose, numerous studies have been conducted to ensure respect for the environment. ​

Hereafter, are some of the achievements:​

• Installation of a rainwater recovery and treatment system at the port before discharge into the sea
• Widespread use of LED lighting, reducing the port’s energy consumption by around 200.000 KWH/year and cutting maintenance costs
• Installation of the onshore power system at the Marina (400 A and 250 A service terminal for mega yachts) to prevent their machine from being switched on during their stay
• Installation of photovoltaic: 4500 m2 covered area, 1 GW (production/year), 650 t Co2 mass avoided
