New measures have been introduced this month which aims to ease congestion in Algeria, car carriers will discharge at ports of Mostganem and Ghazaouet while all other re-routed vessels (e.g. carrying cargoes re-bars, wood and grains) will not be allowed to discharge in Algeria and should be discharged in one of the ports, such as Oran, Mostaganem, Ghazaouet, Bejaia or Skikda; however, there are some drawbacks like expensive insurance premiums, congestion charges and large demurrage payments.

To avoid any disputes or inconvenience, we suggest consulting your local agents or point of contact locally for update information before calling Algeria.
