Around 67 million tonnes of cargo and roughly 3,000 vessel calls a year pass through Arzew El Djedid, yet almost none of it is containerised. Built about 30 km east of Oran on the Gulf of Arzew, this is a dedicated energy and petrochemical export terminal handling LNG, LPG, crude oil, refined products, ammonia, salt and fertiliser. A detached breakwater shelters the basin, and the throughput figure includes the adjoining Bethioua plant. Inbound feedstock arrives mainly by pipeline from Algeria's national gas grid, with road and rail serving the local refinery and petrochemical complex. Forwarders moving general cargo or boxes should route via the nearby Port of Oran or Mostaganem instead, since Arzew El Djedid is geared to tankers, gas carriers and liquid bulk. Customs and export formalities run through Algeria's state energy operators.
