The Future of Shipbuilding at Tan-Tan Port

Tan-Tan port, located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, is undergoing a major transformation. With the expansion of deep-sea fishing activities and increased regional maritime traffic, the demand for modern and competent shipyards has never been stronger. Al-Isnad (الإسناد), specializing in ship construction, naval repair, and industrial boilermaking, is at the heart of this revolution.

An Evolving Industry

New technologies are radically transforming the world of shipbuilding. Automated welding processes, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel materials, and 3D naval design software now allow construction times to be reduced by 30 to 40%. Al-Isnad is forging ahead to provide highly efficient, modern, and internationally competitive solutions.

Building a 25 to 35-meter pelagic trawler requires complete mastery of plasma cutting, plate forming, and structural assembly. Our team of naval engineers and experienced technicians ensures compliance with IMO (International Maritime Organization) and Bureau Veritas standards.

Investment and Port Development

The Moroccan government is investing heavily in modernizing port infrastructure. The Halieutis Plan, aimed at developing the fishing industry, creates new opportunities for shipyards in southern Morocco. Tan-Tan and Agadir are becoming centers of maritime excellence, attracting national and international investors and shipowners.

Al-Isnad: A Strategic Player

With state-of-the-art technical facilities, a team of over 50 qualified professionals, and a vessel handling capacity of up to 500 tons displacement, Al-Isnad meets the growing needs of Morocco's fishing fleet. Our services include:

  • Naval steel hull construction
  • Complete fishing vessel renovation
  • Preventive and corrective dry-dock maintenance
  • Anti-corrosion treatment and marine painting
  • Heavy industrial boilermaking

Prospects and Ambitions

Al-Isnad's ambition is to become the reference shipyard of Atlantic Morocco by 2030. This requires continuous skill development, international certifications, and strategic partnerships with shipowners, marine insurers, and classification organizations.
