Abstract – In the context of globalization of the
exchanges, the flows acceleration, the pressures
increase more and more to improve the performance of
the port logistics chain in the export. The link port
passage is not only considered asentry and exit point
but also a place including a number of public and
private stakeholders; requiring a good management of
the effective processes, the organization of the bilateral
and multilateral relations and the preservation of the
quality and the healthiness of exported products while
assuring the attractiveness port.
In this perspective, this article aims firstly to identify
the criteria of choice of ports the most quoted in the
literature, then the treaties with the main stakeholders
and actors of the Agadir port in order to classify them
according to their importance and by major process
components port logistics.
Key Words: Port attractiveness, port, shipping, port
logistics.
1. INTRODUCTION:
In an unstable and unpredictable environment,
characterized by the globalization of markets and
competition; the sea transport will continue to develop
and its actors have to improve their competitiveness and
be capable of valuing and of mobilizing all resources and
skills according to needs at the end to move closer
between the services offered by the actors and the
requirements imposed by the applicants [1 , 2].
Indeed, the logistics grafting that transverse function plays
a determining role, based on three main levers: the logistic
reliability, the logistic efficiency and the logistic
suppleness, for the improvement of the logistic
performance of all the chain generally, and the harbour
supply chain in particular [3].
This logistic performance leads to the differentiation in
terms of cost, quality and deadlines; what establishes a
competitive advantage to the actors and especially in a
domain where the participants are multiple and the
interests in several cases are divergent; such as ports [4].
Port of Agadir subdued, in the constraints of seasonality
and the massifs of influxes of the perishable products in
period of citrus fruits and scoops, it faces difficulties of
organization and flow of flux characterized agro-exporters
the peer of the irregularities, which impose in the port of
counter performances at the level quality of residual and
especially on export of plan of the fruits and vegetables. Of
this fact; management of the main processes (stopover of
the ship, chain of cold and information system) which
cross chains the harbour logistics; constituent let us mesh
of a sensibility significant of any chain the logistics.[5]
The link harbour passage is not only considered a point of
entrance and exit, but also a place grouping a number of
participants public and deprived; requiring a good
management of the effective processes, the organization of
the bilateral and multilateral relations and the
preservation of the quality and the healthiness of exported
products while assuring the adaptability of the service
offered to the expected service.
The delay indicated by the various actors and the
participants in the harbour supply chain and specially on
the plans, the management of the information and the
control of the temperature managed both at the level of
transport and at the level of storing; is generally translated
in terms of cost of harbour passage; by representing an
important percentage of the cost price of the exported
