Jul 17, 2008 EUROGATE Tanger successfully handles first feeder ship Tangier (Morocco) - On 11 July, EUROGATE Tanger successfully handled the first feeder ship. On 11 July 2008, the first feeder ship, the CMA CGM "Tobruk", docked at the EUROGATE Tanger Container Terminal in Morocco. A total of 70 containers were unloaded. Although the crane drivers are still undergoing training, the handling of the ship went off without any problems.

From August/September, it is planned to handle two feeder ships per week. From October, full cargo ships are expected to regularly dock at the terminal.
