Morocco Uncovers 20 Shipwrecks that Rewrite its Maritime History
A new chapter in Moroccan heritage is surfacing from the depths. The National Center for Studies and Research in Underwater Cultural Heritage has announced the discovery of 20 historic shipwrecks resting beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Long believed to be lost, these vessels now stand as evidence of Morocco's overlooked maritime history. The ships were located in several coastal regions, including El Jadida and parts of northern Morocco. According to Azeddine Kara, director of the Center, they served a range of purposes. Some were warships, others merchant vessels, and most date back to the 19th and 20th centuries. While some sank when navigating major sea routes, others were lost while anchored near Moroccan ports. 'These discoveries help us reconnect with a part of our history that remained hidden under the water for generations,' Kara explained to SNRTNews. 'They reflect the diversity of maritime activity that shaped our coastline across time.' The announcement places new focus on underwater cultural heritage, which includes not only shipwrecks but also submerged human and animal remains, artifacts, and historical structures that have remained beneath national waters. Such heritage bears cultural, historical, and archaeological significance and contributes to a broader understanding of Morocco's role in maritime exchanges. This wave of discoveries comes at a moment of legislative change. A new national law on heritage protection has been approved. For the first time, the legal framework dedicates specific measures to the protection of submerged heritage. The government's approach also recognizes the importance of Morocco's geography. With vast coastlines along the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the country has long occupied a strategic position at the intersection of civilizations and trade routes. Its waters have seen the passage of empires, navies, merchants, and explorers. Now, remnants of that past are being brought to light. To lead this effort, the Ministry of Youth created the National Center for Studies and Research in Underwater Cultural Heritage. The center conducts research, carries out excavations, and develops plans to share future findings with the public. Tags: archeologyMoroccoshipsshipwrecks

Stellantis to Produce Fiat Giga Panda, Panda Fastback at Morocco's Kenitra Plant
Stellantis' Kenitra plant will produce two new Fiat models, including the Giga Panda and Panda Fastback, starting in 2026. Automotive-focused news outlet said that the company's strategy is clear, noting that the two models 'represent more than just a model.' 'Its official debut is expected in the coming months, with production set to begin in February 2026,' the report said, recalling Morocco's assets as a new industrial hub promising to 'reshape the game for the automotive group and, more broadly, the entire sector.' Earlier this week, Moroccan officials and Stellantis celebrated the expansion of the Stellantis plant in Kenitra. The €1.2 billion investment includes €702 million dedicated to developing local suppliers. With the expansion, the company aims to double its production capacity, raising the local integration rate to 75% by 2030. The expansion also aims to create 3,100 direct jobs, reinforcing Morocco's position as a key player in the automotive sector. Morocco's automotive production stands at 700,000 vehicles, and by the end of the year, the North African country is expected to produce one million vehicles. The approach also seeks to enhance electric vehicle production capacity by 53%. Morocco's goal is to increase the production of electric vehicles to 107,000 electric vehicles by the end of this year. The automotive sector is Morocco's first exporting industry, which created at least 116,000 jobs between 2014 and 2018. Morocco is also the first automotive manufacturer in Africa.
