PORT ACTIVITY OF THE YEAR

2017

At the end of 2017, the ports traffic covered by the ANP reached an overall volume of 83.7 million tons, against 77.4 million tons a year earlier, thus marking an increase of 8.1%.

Compared to the last five years, the overall port traffic is on an upward trend of 4.3% per year on average, rising from 67.9 million tons in 2013 to 83.7 million tons in 2017.

IMPORTSImports practically stagnated compared to the previous year (-1.1%) at an average volume of 47.7 million tons. In value terms, they amounted to MAD 437 billion, up 6.5%.1

By type of traffic, the main variations recorded are as follows:

- The sharp drop of 24.5% in cereal imports, whose volume reached 6.5 million tons, after an increase in the national production of this commodity which reached 96 million quintals;

- The 28.2% drop in imports of steel products, with an overall volume of 1.38 million tons;

- A confirmed evolution of imports of Ammonia (+42.6%) and petroleum coke (+24.3%);

- Sulfur activity increased by 7.3%, with an overall volume of 5.35 million tons in 2017 compared to 4.98 million tons in 2016.

EXPORTSExports recorded a strong increase of27.3% during the past year, with a volume of 32.4 million tons. In terms of value, they amounted to 248 billion MAD, up to 10.6%.2

This significant increase in exports is mainly due to the strong increase in sales abroad of phosphate products, Especially crude phosphate (+40.3%) and fertilizers (+27.1%), with volumes of 11.1 million tons and 8 million tons respectively.

CABOTAGECabotage activity slightly decreased by 4.2% to 3.5 million tons in 2017.

This variation is explained by the decline in flows between Moroccan ports regarding the coastal navigation of hydrocarbons (-6.7%), the overall volume of which reached 1.8 million tons against 2 million tons in 2016.

OVERALL TRAFFIC

CONTAINERSThe container activity at the ports managed by the ANP reached 1.19 million TEUs, hence realizing a growth of 3.8% compared to 2016.

In terms of tonnage, this activity registered 11.8 million tons, which represents an increase of 9.3% compared to the same period of last year.

The imports reached 532,930 TEUs, which account for an increase of 5.9%. Exports also registered an increase of 7.8%, with a volume of 523,403 TEUs.

CEREALSDue to a good cereal harvest of 96 million quintals in 2017, the imports of this commodity amounted to 6.5 million tons, marking a substantial drop of 24.5%.

The analysis of traffic distribution by port shows a high concentration in the port of Casablanca (63%).

It appears also from this analysis that the decline in grain traffic applied to all the ports which ensure the transit of this traffic.

HYDROCARBONSThe total hydrocarbon traffic reached 11.2 million tons in 2017, achieving approximately the same volume (+1.0%) compared to last year.

This stagnation is essentially due to:

(i) the decline in Cabotaged Fuel Oil (-10.6%) and imports of Diesel(-3.4%) and Jet (-6.9%), whose respective volumes registered 753,736 tons, 4.9 million tons and 658,049 tons, as well as (ii) the increase in CabotagedDiesel (+24.5%) and imports of Bitumen (+8.6%), Butane (+4.9%) and Gasoline (+7.5%), with a volume of 992,971 tons, 391,491 tons, 2.2 million tons and 530,525 tons respectively.

The assess of the achievements made by the Agency over the past year concerning the regulation is subdivided into areas of concessions, permits, management of the public port domain, and operational and tariff regulation.

Accompanying the implementation of the new operator SMA at the port of Agadir

Amendment of credit agreement relating to the TC3 concession financing

With the implementation of the North Terminal concession of the port of Agadir to the SMA, that came into force on 1stSeptember 2016, the operating system of the port of Agadir underwent an important transformation especially through the introduction of single handling.

To ensure a smooth transition to this new mode of operation while ensuring continuous ship loading and unloading services, the ANP, in conjunction with the designated dealers, has put in place a 24-month transitional phase to allow the new entrant to carry out its firm investment program and train its staff.

To fund its investment program, in March 2017, the SMA contractor signed a long-term credit agreement of asum of 235 million MAD with BCP.

As part of this funding and in accordance with Article 23 of the law 02-15, the ANP signed a direct agreement with the lenders and the contractor on the 23rdMarch 2017.

In accordance with the provisions of the direct agreement between the ANP, the lenders and the TC3PCcompany, signed as part of funding the contractor›s investment program, the contractor submitted to the ANP an application of prior approval to sign an amendment to the credit agreement, whose purpose is (i) to ratify the investment program and the funding plan so as to establish the final amounts of the investment contracts and operating expenditure settled before the start date of commercial service and (ii) to amend the period of use and the period of credit availability.

The ANP notified the contractor of its approval regarding the aforementioned rider dated on August 2017 ,24

Implementation of unified tariffs valid 24/24 at the port of Casablanca for multipurpose terminals

Publication of the ANP Tariff Book Establishment of an ANP-CGEM working group for the analysis of the cost of passage to the port of Casablanca

Change in the terms of the cabotage rebate on vessel port dues

The National Agency of Ports has adopted a new tariff system for the services rendered by the contractors at the multipurpose terminals of the port of Casablanca, by putting in place unified tariffs valid 24/24 and 7/7. The new tariffs which entered into force on the 15thJanuary 2017, introduce a simplification of tariff provisions by cancelling over-time tariffs.

Thus, port users now pay identical tariffs for port services, be it in daytime, night, Sunday or public holidays, without any overpricing.

During its meeting held on June 2017 ,19, the Agency›s Board of Directors approved the ANP Tariff Book.

This new Tariff Book, which was distributed to all ports and published on the Agency›s website, aims to set up a reference system of the provisions and tariff scales in force.

It was established by taking into account (i) all tariff decisions concerning the Agency›s scope of competence, during the time of the ex-ODEP stage, (ii) all tariff decisions made and set by the ANP since its creation and (iii) the improvement and accuracy of certain tariff provisions to be adapted to the reality on the ground.

Following the request of the CGEM, a joint ANP -CGEM committee was set up as of June 2017 to study the project of optimizing transit costs at the port of Casablanca. This committee was entrusted with (i) firstly, carrying out an analysis of the current situation of the invoicing system of port services, and (ii) secondly, identifying areas to improve the current invoicing processes.

Cabotage activity between national ports underwenta structural change and has reached an overall volume of around 4 million tons. This activity, which used to concern only the transport of petroleum products to thesouthernports, has developed considerably, particularly for containers.

Consequently, and in order to adapt the tariff provisions concerning the application of the cabotage rebate modes to the evolution of the flow composition of this activity, the ANP Board of Directors at the December 2016 session approved the application of the rates of this rebate.

Human Capital Management

The management of the human resources of the National Agency of Ports is clearly geared towards improving the core of businesses and reinforcing internal skills. In order to meet the needs and challenges of the Agency›s development strategy, the quantitative and qualitative empowerment of human capital is based on the following levers:

- A recruitment plan that takes into account the changing needs of the Agency›s various structures;

- Skills strengthening through diversified, targeted and generalized training;

- Promotions combining both the concern for fairness and compliance with the legal and procedural arsenal in force, and also the need to provide the various structures of the Agency with efficient and motivated human resources;

- Concerted social action resulting from a permanent dialogue approach with the social partners.

With regard to the above-mentioned areas, the 2017 review of the Agency›s human capital management is rich in achievements in terms of career management, skills development and staff motivation.

The Agency’s workforce

In 31/12/2017, the Agency had 929 employees with a senior management ratio of 40%. By category, these employees are as follows:

Women represent 20% of ANP staff and the average age at ANP on 31/12/2017 is 43 years for all staff and 39 years for senior management.

Qualified implementation: 101 that is to say 11%

Control: 307 that is to say 33%

Implementation: Implementation 54 that is to say 6%

Senior Executives: 369 that is to say 40%

Executives: 98 that is to say 10%


Motivation and social action Training

Staff motivation is a basic lever for increasing the performance of the Agency›s staff. In fact, in addition to a compensation policy based on the principles of equity and contribution/reward convergence, the Agency offers its human capital a varied package of incentives, considering that the social action is the key element for motivating the personnel and strengthening cohesion and team spirit.

In this regard, the social action program is rich and varied, especially when it comes to encouraging access to home ownership, organizing medical prevention campaigns, granting summer opportunities for staff and summer camps and recreational activities for the staff›s children.
