Logistics: How Fast Fashion Resizes TangerMed

To become a trusted third party, this is how the port platform of TangerMed intends to evolve. For the director of the ro-ro port of this platform, Hassan Abkari, it is a question of ensuring the interface between the customer and the carrier in a successful way in order to eliminate delays and obstacles during the transport.

The ro-ro port intends to take advantage of its strategic position in the immediate vicinity of a market of more than 600 million consumers that is Europe. And one of the favorite sectors is fashion. According to Abkari, who was speaking at the 4th edition of TangerMed Logistics Days, “Fast Fashion” gives Morocco a considerable advantage over some South-East Asian countries with lower wages.

Some brands such as the Inditex group renew their collections weekly and it is for their shops to be delivered up to twice a week. For countries like Bangladesh, which have become Europe’s tailors, the pace can not be kept up for some items such as women’s clothing with the highest rotations.

The length of distances with several weeks of sea voyages and the obligation to undertake large series handicaps these Asian suppliers. As much for the textile as the automobile, the advantage of the port of TangerMed is to be located less than 24 hours of road of the principal European capitals.

To achieve good service to Europe, TangerMed has set out to set up international logistics corridors. These are lines connecting with several ports including those of southern Europe as the unmovable Algeciras or Barcelona.

Other lines for ro-ro traffic have been created, such as the one connecting Vigo for example, entirely dedicated to freight. Connections are not only physical, but also virtual and computer-networked with data exchange between ports for better coordination between start and end points.

In terms of infrastructure, the port has recently had a new import-export lock. This installation streamlines operations by pooling resources and a dedicated grouping space. And small structures working for big brands to be able to pool their efforts and consolidate their loads into larger trucks.

In addition, a freight reservation system with shipping companies will provide visibility and know which boats the goods will be transported. It will manage flows for all operators.

It adds to the transport exchange launched by TangerMed and the CGEM a few weeks ago, the TM Fret. The latter is gradually gaining power by allowing carriers to avoid the great fear of carriers, empty returns.
