Algeria’s phosphate port undergoes expansion works.

The Annaba phosphate port in Algeria is undergoing expansion works aimed at increasing the use of workers and equipment by the first quarter of 2027, according to the country's Ministry of Works and Infrastructure on Wednesday (15). As reported by the ministry, the number of project employees will be doubled and the port will be reinforced “with additional machinery and equipment to accelerate the pace of work and the delivery of the project within the planned deadlines,” the ministry said. The plant involves the construction of a deep-water quay with the capacity to receive ships of up to 80,000 tons. Currently, Somiphos, an Algerian producer, handles shipments of up to 55,000 tons.
