About Algiers
Algiers is the country's principal container gateway and sits directly below the capital, which keeps inland distances short for the largest consumer market. The terminal is old and space-constrained, and Algerian import formalities are among the more document-intensive in the region. Bank domiciliation of the invoice has to be in place before cargo arrives, and it is the single most common reason a container sits.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Algiers — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 8–13 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Algeria lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
