Sailing schedules into Port of Casablanca
Port of Casablanca is served weekly or fortnightly from Southampton, Sheerness and Felixstowe by major RoRo and container lines. Indicative port-to-port transit from the UK is 10–16 days RoRo. We confirm the exact vessel name, ETD and ETA in writing at the time of booking.
Sailing frequency varies by trade lane — RoRo to large hubs typically weekly, smaller trades fortnightly. We aim to deliver vehicles into the port compound 2–5 days before vessel cut-off to allow loading planning, customs validation and shipping-line acceptance.
Documentation and customs at Port of Casablanca
Vehicles arriving at Port of Casablanca must be entered through local customs by an appointed clearing agent. Documents typically required: original bill of lading endorsed to the consignee, commercial invoice or proof of purchase, V5C (or registration certificate from the country of origin) and the importer's local tax ID. Our destination agent handles import declaration, duty assessment, port release and onward delivery.
We provide full export documentation pack — bill of lading, packing list (for container shipments), HMRC export entry copy and marine insurance certificate where insured through us — to your destination agent before vessel arrival, so clearance can start as soon as the vessel berths.
Practical tips for shipping through Port of Casablanca
Plan delivery to the port 3–7 days before vessel cut-off. Vehicles arriving late typically miss the booked sailing and roll to the next available vessel, which can mean a 1–2 week delay. Vehicles arriving too early may incur port storage at standard daily rates — we manage timing carefully to avoid both extremes.
On arrival at Port of Casablanca, free port storage typically runs 5–10 days depending on the terminal tariff. After that demurrage and storage charges accrue daily — fast clearance saves money. Our agent monitors discharge and starts the import entry as soon as the manifest is released by the shipping line.
