[041113.EN.SEA] Algerian Port of Oran To Build Annual 1.5 Million TEU Terminal By 2017

THE Port of Oran, on the western shores of Algeria, is to build a DZD11 billion (US$140 million) container terminal in the next three years, opening in 2017 with an annual capacity of 1.5 million TEU at full build out.

The first phase will extend the quay by 500 metres and increase capacity to handle 500,000 containers annually. The second phase involving US$620 million will build a second quay of 900 metres with 17 metres alongside to the biggest ships afloat. An additional storage area provide 1.5 million TEU a year at full buildout.

The additional capacity will support three of its major carriers, Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM, which are served by five berths, reports Lloyd's Loading List.

Renault's latest manufacturing plant, due to open in November 2014, is expected to boost throughput further in spare parts. The plant is located 30 kilometres away in Oued Tlelalt, in Oran province.

Oued Tlelalt is under consideration for a proposed US$30 million dry port and logistics centre within an industrial park for transit of bonded goods unloaded at Oran.

A new ring road connecting the city of Oran to Algeria's east-west highway will support access to the new terminal.
