A study on improving of port performance to minimize logistics costs of the grain transiting by the tangier MED port

The transport of goods is based on a supply chain. The total cost may include, for example, benefits of pre-and post-routing such as land transport (road and/or rail), the remuneration of armaments, insurance, freight forwarders, brokers and the cost… port transit.

The cost of the port means, all costs resulting from the provision of ships and goods through the port authority (fixed costs), tools (−variables rent) and services (variables-wages and fees) port; they are supported directly by the port, and then passed on to users through tariffs. The article proposes a literature review on the different types of logistics costs in a port, a comparative analysis of the traffic volume during a period in the old port city of Tangier and the new Tanger Med Port and finally an analysis of the existing situation, following which delays the grain have been identified at the General Cargo Terminal with a proposal as an investment project infrastructure to maximize storage spaces dedicated to grain.
