Le marché des carburants au Maroc a connu, ces derniers jours, des perturbations temporaires dans le rythme d’approvisionnement dans plusieurs villes, en raison de conditions météorologiques exceptionnelles ayant affecté l’activité des ports nationaux. Ces conditions ont entraîné des retards dans le déchargement de cargaisons de produits pétroliers, ainsi que des difficultés logistiques liées à la distribution intérieure, notamment à cause de l’interruption de certains axes routiers.
Adverse weather disrupts fuel supply in Morocco… what is the real situation?
In recent days, Morocco’s fuel market has experienced temporary disruptions in supply across several cities due to exceptional weather conditions that affected national port activity. These conditions led to delays in unloading petroleum cargoes, along with logistical challenges in inland distribution caused by the closure of certain road links.
