The port of Nador is a commercial port on the Mediterranean Sea servicing the Rif area of Northern Morocco. The port is officially in Bin Anşār (or Beni Ansar) and shares it piers and entrance with the port of the Spanish enclave Melilla. It is a semi-artificial port using the Bou Areg Lagoon[1].

Usage

The port is directly connected to the Spanish enclave Melilla: the port of Melilla uses aprox 70% of the wet area while Nador port uses the remaining 30% of the south-east area. The port offers a relative small fishing-port, 700 metres of deep-water keys (13 metre deep) and another 300 metre keys with a water-depth of 10 metres. This Terminal 2 is a bulk goods terminal receiving bulk-goods such as ore and billets for the nearby steel-mill SONASID.

There is also a 100 metre long pier for reception of hydrocarbons (waterdepth: 13 metres).

The Nador Port Ferry terminal provides with 600 metre keys for Roll-on/roll-off ferries and elevated foot-bridges for foot-passengers.
