  • A.P. Moller Capital raised 2.24 billion dirhams ($243 million) for APM Capital Morocco Fund, dedicated to transport and logistics.
  • The fund combines 1.64 billion dirhams in commitments with a 600 million dirhams co-investment from Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II (EMIF II).
  • The initiative supports Morocco’s plan to position itself as a logistics hub between Europe and Africa, with 750 hectares of economic zones planned by 2028.

In Morocco, Danish investment firm A.P. Moller Capital announced on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the final close of APM Capital Morocco Fund, which targets the transport and logistics sector, with total commitments of 2.24 billion dirhams ($243 million).

The fund mobilized capital from a mix of Moroccan and international institutional investors. Specifically, the fund secured 1.64 billion dirhams in commitments. It complemented that amount with a 600 million dirhams co-investment from Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II (EMIF II), a Danish fund managed by A.P. Moller Capital.

Objective: Strengthen the Competitiveness of the Transport and Logistics Sector

The fund will invest resources in Moroccan transport and logistics companies and projects. The fund aims to support sector growth, improve infrastructure, and strengthen the competitiveness of local companies. In practice, the fund will focus on developing high-performing companies and will support their growth and operational excellence over time. At a broader level, the initiative aims to act as a catalyst for investment, accelerate national economic momentum, and foster job creation.

“By combining A.P. Moller Capital’s international experience with strong local expertise, we will focus on developing high-performing companies and sustainably improving their operational performance,” said Ghislane Guedira, CEO of APM Capital Morocco S.A, the local management subsidiary of A.P. Moller Capital.

A.P. Moller Capital has already invested in Morocco. The group has built experience in transport and energy infrastructure and notably invested in Mass Céréales Al Maghreb, which it exited in 2025.

This fundraising supports Morocco’s objective to become a major logistics hub between Europe and Africa. The Moroccan government plans to develop 750 hectares of economic zones by 2028, including 500 hectares already prepared in priority regions. In the south, authorities plan projects in El Argoub, El Guerguerat, and Dakhla to boost local economic activity and establish the region as a key logistics hub.
