New cranes for DPW Djazair

The cranes, the first in Algiers to have twin-pick handling capability, will give a major boost to the handling capacities at the port. Both cranes should be commissioned by the end of this month (July) and fully operational by the middle of August.

They are expected to improve the supply chain and flow of goods for importers and exporters through the port, which handles more than 60% of Algiers’ container volumes.

“DP World’s investment pattern is consistent with the Government of Algeria’s strategy to develop the ports of Algiers and Djen Djen in line with the country’s national interests. With the commissioning of these cranes, Phase I of the investment and development plan for Djazair has been successfully concluded,” said Joost Kruijning, senior vice-president & managing director, DP World, Africa.
