OCP Group, Morocco’s fertilizers giant, has signed a wide-ranging Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with international logistics giant Maersk to enhance sustainable, agile, and digitalized supply chain solutions to support OCP’s international growth, according to a statement from OCP Group on Tuesday.
The agreement is the latest milestone in the long-standing relationship between the two companies, focusing on strengthening ocean and inland transport networks, expanding storage and distribution capacity, and upgrading supply chain operations with digital technologies.
The initiative is intended to build resilience in an increasingly uncertain global logistics landscape.
Anass Hassainate, Head of Supply Chain & Logistics at OCP’s SPS division, said the deal reflects a shared vision to create a world-class supply chain capable of adapting to global challenges, while also supporting the expansion of OCP’s specialty products across international markets.
In addition to logistics services, the partnership will invest in education and research initiatives, launching academic and training programs in collaboration with Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. These efforts are intended to grow local and regional expertise in supply chain management and sustainability.
Sustainability is a central pillar of the agreement. Both companies reaffirmed their commitment to reaching net-zero emissions by 2040. Joint efforts will include the evaluation and adoption of alternative fuels, decarbonization of logistics operations, and implementation of energy-efficient practices.
Emilio De La Cruz, Maersk’s Managing Director for Southwest Europe and the Maghreb, expressed optimism about the partnership’s future, noting that it not only supports greener supply chains but also invests in the development of logistics competencies in Morocco, a key market for the company.
OCP Group, based in Morocco, supplies over 350 customers worldwide with products essential for soil fertility and plant growth. The company generated more than USD 9 billion in revenue in 2024 and employs over 17,000 people. It is currently executing a USD 13 billion green investment strategy through 2027, aimed at achieving full carbon neutrality by 2040, transitioning to 100% non-conventional water use by 2025, and using entirely clean energy by 2027.
