SGTM-Somagec consortium, which comprises SGTM (Societé Générale des Travaux du Maroc) and Somagec construction firm both of which are based in Morocco, has been selected as the sole candidate for the final stages of the tender for construction of Dakhla Atlantic Port in the North African country.
This was recently announced by Morocco’s Ministry of Equipment, Transport, and Logistics.

Moroccan consortium beats foreign bidders for port deal
A consortium of two Moroccan construction firms has ousted three foreign alliances bidding for a large port project on the Atlantic coast exceeding$1 billion of investments, according to press reports.
Morocco’s Transport Ministry said that it had selected a consortium comprising SGTM (Societé Générale des Travaux du Maroc), a key contracting firm in Morocco, and the Casablanca-based Somagec construction firm for the project to build a port in Dakhla, a city of more than 100,000 people in the disputed Western Sahara.
The London-based Al-Arab newspaper, the Moroccan Rue20 website and other publications said the project would cost around 10 billion Moroccan dirhams ($1.05 billion) and that it is part of plans to build seven new ports in the North African Arab country.
