The participants addressed several crucial points, notably the problem of overcrowding in the fishing basin. It was emphasized that the basin suffers from significant overpopulation, which hinders the docking of boats and the unloading of fish. The port's reception capacity, set at 150 places divided between surface fishing, trawling, and trolling, was confirmed as being approved by professionals in the sector.

The meeting also focused on the digital organization of port access for individuals and vehicles. This initiative aims to facilitate and streamline entry and exit movements from the port, thus improving its operational efficiency.

The discussions highlighted the commitment of stakeholders to find solutions to the problems encountered by the maritime fishing sector in Safi. The adoption of a digital system to manage port access was welcomed as a positive step towards better port management and the facilitation of travel. Clarifying the port's reception capacity should also contribute to better internal organization.
