Mohammedia : Profile

Location

This port lies just 10nm NE of Casablanca on the Atlantic coast.

Position 33° 42'N, 07° 23'W.

Clearance

Latest reports (2005) indicate that it is possible to use this port, but that space is very limited. Marina staff do their best to help.

On arrival at the port entrance behind the huge outer breakwater, call the port captain on VHF (CH 16, 11, 10).

In the event of an emergency (storm, ill person, engine failure etc.) a yacht may be allowed to moor in the commercial harbour for a short period. Officials will come to the yacht; speaking French to them is a definite advantage and formalities are reported to be relatively straightforward.

Docking

The marina has two poontons with water and electricity and quite good sanitary facilities. Berthing fee also includes use of the yacht club nearby which has a pool. Entering should not attempted at spring low-water as the concrete blocks for the moorings lower the depth between the pontoons significantly. However, once moored, drafts up to 2m are ok. They normally take boats up to 12 meters length and 2 meters draft and have four to five visitors berths. Space is tight and any manovering needs to be very slow.

Leaving the boat in Mohammedia is absolutely safe as the port is very well guarded. The Marina staff is very helpful, there are good toilets/showers next to the pontoons and there is a weather office in the port with a helpful meteorologist.

Day trips to Casablanca or further afield are possible by train.
