Since its establishment in 1963, ONCF has established itself as an essential pillar of Morocco's socio-economic development. Through successive and ambitious investment cycles, the Office has consistently worked to modernise and expand the national railway network, tripling passenger numbers and significantly increasing freight volumes over the past two decades. These efforts have enabled the connection of major economic hubs, improved citizen mobility, and strengthened the Kingdom's logistical competitiveness.
The momentum driven by the Enlightened Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, marked a decisive turning point, notably with the launch in 2018 of Al Boraq, the first high-speed rail line on the African continent, connecting Tangier to Casablanca. This transformational project, among others, demonstrated ONCF's capacity to deliver large-scale transformations, positioning rail as a modern, efficient, and environmentally responsible transport solution.
In 2024, ONCF transported a record 55.1 million passengers, including over 5.5 million on Al Boraq alone, demonstrating the growing appeal of rail transport. Freight transport also showed strong resilience, with 21.2 million tonnes carried.
