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.
