Officials from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Investment joined senior DP World management at a ceremony to mark the official handover of the terminal to the new entity, a joint venture between DP World and the Algerian port authority.

DP World Djen Djen, located 350 kilometres east of the Algerian capital, is fundamental to the country’s long-term growth strategy.

The port is the main terminus for the eastern part of the country, and will be developed as a transshipment hub for the western Mediterranean. DP World Djazair, which handles more than 60pc of the country’s external trade, will be developed further to serve primarily domestic needs. Currently, Djen Djen handles only bulk traffic.

The latest addition to DP World’s global terminal portfolio is expected to attract significant new investment, and create thousands of new jobs in a region with one of the youngest populations in North Africa.
