2 Algeria Logistics Infrastructure
Algeria is almost exclusively served by foreign companies. CMA-CGM (France), Mediterranean Shipping Company (Switzerland) or Maersk (Denmark) ship up to 95% of maritime flows to and from Algeria. Customs statistics estimate that shipping costs comprise an average of 25% of the overall value of the country's imports.
There is a distance of around 2,000 kilometres between the north, where the ports and platforms for storing imported food products are concentrated, and the far south of the country. Transporting goods to the interior and the south requires a massive mobilization of transportation, and must be adept in transporting fresh produce. , Road transport predominates in the absence of a dense rail network.
The rail transport sector has expanded over the past five years. Algeria's rail network is 5,200 km long as of 2019 and certain sections have recently been electrified. The rail network is managed by the National Company for Rail Transport (SNTF in French) which has more than 200 stations covering mainly the north of the country.
Algeria has 35 airports, including 13 international ones. The most important is Algiers Airport, which handles up to 22 million passengers per year. In 2018, the airport handled more than 7 million passengers and more than 350,000 tonnes of cargo. Algiers airport is served by more than 25 airlines. Air Algérie is the national airline and it dominates the air transport market with a fleet of 57 aircraft. Tassili Airlines, another national company is also operating in the country, mostly in the interior routes.
2.1 Algeria Port Assessment
The vast majority of Algeria’s commercial trade moves through the national port network. The most significant port in terms of traffic is Arzew in Oran, which handles mostly petrochemical traffic, followed by Skikda. For container traffic, Algiers is the most important port after Arzew, handling almost 60% of the country’s container traffic. Algiers is a congested port and delays are common, as in other major Algerian ports. Congestion surcharges are regularly implemented by shipping lines. DP World (Dubai Ports World) is responsible for port operations in Algiers as well as Djen Djen.

The road infrastructure is fairly developed although still insufficient compared to the growing number of vehicles in Algeria. Alongside, low skilled drivers and lack of mandated vehicle standards are considered to be key contributing factors to the growing incidence of road traffic crashes and resulting injuries.

2.5 Algeria Waterways Assessment
A waterway assessment is not available for Algeria.
2.6 Algeria Storage Assessment
According to the current operational context, all food aid, are directly transported up to the Extended delivery Point (EDP) in Rabouni near Tindouf.
Officially the warehouse/storage facility compound at Rabouni is managed by the Algerian Red Crescent (ARC), however practically; it’s managed by the Sahraoui Red Crescent (SRC) according to a bilateral agreement signed between the two parties.
The current storage facilities at Rabouni consist of the following:
- One 800 m2 warehouse built in 2004. This store is in good shape, and just recently maintenance / repairs were carried out to the doors, and also increased the ventilation in the warehouses which is mainly used for sensitive / short shelf- life commodities such as Corn Soya blend. The building has a capacity of about 1000 MT.
- Seventeen concrete open platforms, built from 2002 to 2004 (sixteen of 200 m2 and one of 240 m2). The steel framework supporting the roofs of some four of these platforms is damaged; thus, only twelve are currently covered. Repairs and maintenance are required to maximize the use of this space. The platforms suit the high temperature conditions by maximizing air circulation for sensitive food, such as the wheat flour. Total estimated capacity for these platforms is around 4250 MT.
- There are a significant number of shipping containers, many of which are not in good condition. While these are mainly used as perimeter barriers, some are also used for food storage due to insufficient storage space. Commodities can be damaged by storage in these containers due to the high temperatures. The estimated storage capacity of these containers is around 2500 MT, corresponding to about 250 containers.
- Two hard-wall (metal) hangars built in 1998, which need maintenance such as repair to a damaged entrance and of some of the zinc roofing sheets. Due to insufficient ventilation the doors to these hangars must be kept open all the times. These two hangars have an estimated capacity of 700 MT.
- One 1200 m2 warehouse, recently built in excellent condition with an estimated capacity of 1500 MT.
Based on the above, the total current storage capacity amounts
to some 9950 MT including the containers.
Although another 1000 m2 warehouse exists, this store, built by the
Spanish Cooperation, is used principally for non-food items and
other humanitarian aid rather than WFP food. As such, it is not
taken into consideration above at the time being, but can be used
during emergencies.

2.7 Algeria Milling Assessment
At the end of the 2017/2018 harvest-threshing campaign, national cereal production reached 6.05 million tons, compared to 3.47 million tons recorded during the 2015/2016 campaign. The needs are far from being met in terms of common wheat, even in favorable years, which leads to costly imports in foreign currency for the country. Algeria plans to be self-sufficient in durum wheat by 2020. In 2018, Algeria imported 8 million tons of wheat (hard and soft) with a bill of 1.92 billion dollars, including 7.9 million tons of soft wheat with a value of 1.48 billion dollars .
The capacity of milling for the wheat is more 15 million tons per year and the capacity of wheat storage is more than 31 Million tons (2018).
