DR ‹ › The Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development has confirmed that supplies of petroleum products on the national market remain stable and under control, despite the exceptional weather conditions Morocco has been experiencing for several weeks. These conditions have notably disrupted operations at certain ports and delayed the unloading of ships carrying energy products. In a statement, Thursday, the ministry said it had activated close coordination between public and private stakeholders, adopting a proactive approach to ensure supply continuity and overcome logistical challenges linked to weather-related uncertainties. According to the same source, national stock levels currently exceed 617,000 tonnes of petroleum products, a volume considered sufficient to meet short-term market needs. In addition, vessels carrying more than one million tonnes are awaiting unloading and can be processed as soon as weather conditions improve. The ministry specified that its services are ensuring continuous monitoring of stock levels and port cargoes, in coordination with industry professionals. Preventive measures have also been implemented, including the identification of installations and service stations temporarily closed in flood-affected areas, in order to mitigate any risks to safety and the environment. Authorities stressed that the situation remains under control, thanks to reinforced stock levels and the deployment of monitoring mechanisms. A dedicated unit is providing continuous oversight and ensuring rapid response to any developments, while the National Laboratory of Energy and Mines remains mobilized to carry out product quality control and facilitate port operations. The ministry concluded by noting that these measures are part of Morocco's experience built over more than 35 years in managing the impacts of climate change, adding that communication will continue in line with developments on the ground.
