Morocco’s state-owned railway operator, the Moroccan National Railways Office (ONCF), has awarded France’s NGE Group a $110-million contract to upgrade one section of the Kenitra-Marrakesh rail line, part of Morocco’s $14.3-billion high-speed rail development plan.
NGE, through its subsidiaries TSO, TSO Catenaires and NGE Maroc, will overhaul the existing rail line from the city of Casablanca to the adjacent city of Nouaceur as ONCF pushes ahead to extend the high-speed rail line connecting Tangiers in the north of the country to Kenitra to an eventual link to the country's popular tourist destination of Marrakech.
