The new entity is a joint venture between DP World and the Algerian port authority.
Located 350 km east of the Algerian capital, DP World Djen Djen 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 transhipment hub for the western Mediterranean.
DP World Djen Djen is the second DP World concession in Algeria, the first being the Port of Algiers, now DP World Djazair, whose handover was completed in March this year.
DP World Djazair, which handles more than 60% of the country's external trade, will be developed further to serve primarily domestic needs. Currently, Djen Djen handles only bulk traffic.
DP World operates 49 terminals with twelve new developments across 31 countries.
