Rhenus marks 10 years with CCCM
0The Rhenus Group marks 10 years of partnership with Moroccan logistics operator Compagnie Commerciale Charbonnière et Maritime (CCCM), strengthening its role in building high-performance logistics links between Europe and North Africa and preparing the next phase of corridor expansion.
Over the past decade, Rhenus has developed a fully integrated collaboration with CCCM, combining global expertise with strong local capabilities. The partnership has scaled significantly, reaching 6,880 shipments in 2025, up 223% compared to 2019, and 25,375 tons, an increase of 593%.
“Our partnership with CCCM demonstrates that fast, reliable logistics between Europe and Morocco can be delivered at scale,” said Xavier Gimenez, Member of the Overland Steering Committee at Rhenus. “The next step is to expand this model across additional European markets.”
At the core of this growth is Rhenus’ Spain–Morocco corridor, which already delivers consistent transit times between 48 and 72 hours. Shipments reach Tangier in around 48 hours and Casablanca in 72 hours, with similar performance northbound into Europe.
Supported by fixed departures, frequent groupage services and established routing via Barcelona and Algeciras, this corridor provides a reliable benchmark for Euro-Mediterranean logistics.
The focus now shifts from transit time performance to scaling volumes and increasing frequency.
Rhenus’ expansion comes as Morocco strengthens its role as a logistics and industrial hub connecting Europe, Africa and global trade flows. Driven by infrastructure investment, industrial growth and rising exports, the country is evolving into a key platform for resilient Euro-African supply chains.
This transformation is increasing demand for integrated logistics solutions, particularly in sectors such as automotive, textile, manufacturing and temperature-controlled goods.
Building on the proven Spain model, Rhenus is now structuring new corridors from France, Italy and Türkiye, with full operational rollout planned by 1 January 2027.
The setup includes consolidation hubs in Paris, Lyon, Milan and Istanbul, combined with direct and multimodal connections to Tangier, enabling regular groupage flows and scalable volumes.Supported by a network of five consolidation hubs across Europe and Central Asia, Rhenus is extending its reach beyond core routes, ensuring consistent service levels and competitive transit times across a broader geography.
The expansion targets key industries including automotive, textile and fashion, machinery, food and agri-products, chemicals and emerging energy sectors. This diversified base ensures stable volumes while supporting long-term growth.
To mark the milestone, Rhenus and CCCM recently hosted a customer and partner event in Tangier, bringing together around 80 participants from across Europe and North Africa to gather insights on future supply chain needs.
“We are proud of what we have built together over the past 10 years,” said Mohammed Moreno, Managing Director of CCCM. “This partnership provides a strong foundation for continued growth.”
Through this next phase, Rhenus is transforming its Morocco operations from a strong bilateral partnership into a scalable, multi-corridor logistics platform linking Europe and Africa.
