• [Dafei Shipping partners with Moroccan port giant to invest in port container terminals]
• French shipping giant Daffy Shipping has signed a cooperation agreement with Moroccan company Marsa Maroc through its subsidiary CMA Terminals to jointly develop and operate the West Container Terminal at the port of Nador. The cooperation is awaiting regulatory approval, with Marsa Maroc holding 51% and Dafei holding 49%. According to the plan, the dock has a coastline of 900 meters, a front water depth of 18 meters, equipped with 8 shore bridges, and an annual designed throughput capacity of 1.8 million TEUs. It is expected to be put into operation in stages starting from 2027. The project will be developed in stages, and the first phase of the project has been initiated through a 25 year sub franchise agreement. This cooperation will integrate Dafei's global shipping network with Marsa Maroc's local operational experience, aiming to build the Port of Nador into an important hub in the Mediterranean. Its location advantage adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar will enhance Dafei's market competitiveness in the Western Mediterranean. It is worth noting that Marsa Maroc has ordered 18 container cranes from China Zhenhua Heavy Industry in 2025, expected to be delivered by the end of 2026 to support the port operation plan. This cooperation is a key link in the overall development of Nador West Port, which will further consolidate Morocco's position as a node in the global shipping network. Editor/Yang Beihua

• [Total Energy decides to restart Mozambique's $20 billion LNG project]
• Recently, Total Energy announced that it will restart the Mozambique liquefied natural gas project, which had been stalled for four years due to safety reasons. The project has a total investment of 20 billion US dollars and has been on hold since the terrorist attacks in 2021. The consortium composed of Total Energy and its partners has officially decided to lift the force majeure clause and notified the Mozambican government accordingly. This decision indicates that all parties have regained confidence in the security situation in the project area. The LNG project is located in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique, with a designed annual production capacity of up to 43 million tons. The project has also received support from international energy companies such as Mitsui&Co. in Japan and is considered a key project to promote Mozambique's economic development. After the 2021 attacks, the Mozambican military collaborated with Rwandan forces to restore security and order in the project area, particularly in the Afengji Peninsula, which houses both the Total project and ExxonMobil's $30 billion project. However, approval from the Mozambican government for the updated budget is still required before the project can be restarted. This project has previously received loan support from multiple countries, including the US government. Despite the promising prospects of the project, it also faces some controversies. In 2025, there are reports that the UK government is seeking the possibility of withdrawing $1.15 billion in funding support and conducting a human rights review of the project. Editor/Yang Beihua
