All over the world, the ports container terminals face several challenges, one of these challenges is to prevent and manage the risks that may occur. These risks, if not well managed, can affect the overall operation of the ports and also can lead to brutal accidents. In this paper we spot the light on the risks of a container terminal in order to conduct a risk assessment by using a mapping risk approach. This mapping approach is carried out to rank the risks by taking into account their specific criticality index and their influence to a port's safety. The data was collected from the container terminal of Tangier-Med port of Morocco. Then, the quantitative calculations were made in the aim to compare the results obtained with acceptable standards, and then use them to propose measures reducing or mitigating these risks.
