Background

In December 2019, a Ministerial advisor in Morocco said the project would move forward in 2020 with a floating terminal scheduled for operation by 2021.

In May 2021, UK's Predator Oil & Gas submitted a bid to the government of Morocco to own and operate the facility. In a statement Predator said that the initial scope of the FSRU project would be an annual requirement of 1.1 bcm by 2025 rising to 1.7 bcm in 2030 and 3 bcm in 2040. The project did not move forward.

In January 2022, Morocco invited bids to carry out a study on plans for upgrading Mohammedia port near Casablanca to potentially host an LNG FSRU and related infrastructure. No further progress on the project was announced.

In early 2024, Morocco indicated it was committed to advancing LNG projects, and announced plans for the first floating terminal, Nador FSRU. The plan also included a second LNG project - the Dakhla LNG Terminal, and a third to be either a rendition of previous plans at Jorf Lasfar LNG Terminal or at the Morocco FSRU site near Mohammedia.

As of June 2025, it had not been determined whether the third site would be in Mohammedia or Jorf Lasfar.
