The flows are Moroccan, the means are not. Tanger Med handles more containers than all the national ports agency ports combined, yet 93.6% of them merely pass through. International road haulage depends on that single crossing point for 94.4% of its tonnage. The rail operator spends 1.34 dirham for every dirham it collects, while carrying 59.5% phosphate. This study measures each mode against what the statistics actually publish, names the 29 places where those statistics mislead, and opens the horizon to 2030 in bounded, reproducible paths.
The Moroccan statistical yearbook can be downloaded by anyone. What cannot be downloaded is knowing where it misleads, and what it does not allow you to conclude. That is what is sold here.
The 37 tables of the statistical chapter are reproduced at the end of the document across 24 pages, row by row, with their units, their vintages and the reading caveat attached to each. Any figure in the study can be traced to its source row without leaving the PDF. That is what separates a study from a compilation.
Each one is named together with the false conclusion it would have produced. Tonnage by shipping line collapses 76.3% in the source; at constant perimeter it rises 12.3%, and the sign flips. The most quoted row of the container chapter is not a container tonnage. The top-five airports box has its labels shifted by one rank. None of this is flagged by the source.
It refuses to compute a market share from a ratio between revenue and value added. It refuses to reconstruct a rail deficit from two incomplete lines. It refuses to use a column the source publishes with decimals on a count of vehicles. Each refusal is an error a rushed study would have made and billed for.
6 paths out to 2030, constant rates applied to a published base. No hidden model, no false precision: the rate, the base and both bounds are printed, and the bounds are declared as our own conventions. A reader who finds them too wide substitutes their own and redoes the calculation in one line.
Access to the port-chain professions is taken article by article from the Customs Code, with the point no market data gives you: the licence is PERSONAL and revocable without compensation. Buying a customs brokerage does not guarantee keeping the right to operate if the licensed individuals leave.
No company figure comes from a press article, and the page of the financial report is cited for each one. Of the five values we cross-checked while preparing this edition, four press write-ups were inaccurate, one of them by 47%.
What this study does not contain, and you should know before buying. No prices, no lead times, no market shares, no operator directory beyond the listed companies. And above all no DOMESTIC road haulage tonnage: Morocco publishes none, and the only road tonnage available is that of international traffic passing through a port. This study measures what is measured and says where measurement stops; it does not fill the gaps with estimates. A haulier looking for the size of the Moroccan road market will find no figure here, because none exists.

8 pages taken from the final document, layout included: the key figures, the study's thesis, what it does not say, and the detailed contents of all 15 parts. Enough to check the density and level of detail before paying anything. The extract is offered in the language displayed.
It is written for someone who has to settle a real decision, not to illustrate a slide deck.
You are sizing a back-of-port facility and need the tonnage the country actually captures, not the traffic a terminal displays.
You are assessing a line or an agency and need volumes by port, by direction and by chain, each with the caveat that belongs to it.
You advise on this destination and want a quantified base you can cite without rebuilding it, every figure traceable to its table row.
You are reviewing a port or logistics case and need to know which conclusions the public data supports, and which it does not.
No figure is put forward without its source and date, and none is retyped into the text: each one is computed from a single register. The same figure therefore cannot differ from one page to the next, nor between the French and the English version. The 37 tables of the statistical chapter are reproduced at the end of the document, row by row, each with its reading caveat: you can check any figure in this study without opening the source. Company figures come from published financial reports, at the page cited, never from a press article.
