The Port of Ténès in Algeria has successfully carried out three export operations, shipping 15,000 tons of cement and clinker to international markets. This development is part of the country's efforts to boost its export sector and support the growth of its economy. The operations were conducted simultaneously on three vessels, demonstrating the port's capacity to handle large volumes of exports.

The first vessel, WISLABORG, was loaded with 7,000 tons of clinker, while the second vessel, WILSON FINNFJORD, carried 4,500 tons of cement in bulk bags. The third vessel, BREMEN, transported 3,550 tons of cement. These shipments are part of Algeria's strategy to diversify its exports beyond the oil and gas sector.

According to the Port of Ténès, these export operations are in line with the country's efforts to increase the competitiveness of its national products in international markets. The port's management stated that they are committed to continuing to support the national dynamic for export and to making their facilities available to serve the national economy.

The export operations were carried out in accordance with the instructions of the Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Transport, and in line with the guidelines of the Port of Ténès' parent company, SERPORT. The goal is to improve the efficiency of Algerian ports and provide better support to economic operators.

The growth in exports from the Port of Ténès reflects the country's efforts to boost its non-hydrocarbon exports and support economic diversification. The port's management confirmed that they will continue to work towards enhancing their services and facilities to support the national economy.

The export of cement and clinker is a significant development for Algeria's construction materials sector, which has been working to increase its presence in international markets. The country's construction industry has been growing, driven by investments in infrastructure projects.

The successful export operations from the Port of Ténès demonstrate the country's potential to become a major player in the global construction materials market. With a focus on increasing its exports and supporting economic growth, Algeria is working to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on hydrocarbon exports.
