Cereals, sugar, wine and asphalt make up the staple traffic of Mostaganem (DZ MOS), a multipurpose port on Algeria's western Mediterranean coast. In 2023 it handled about 1.32 million tonnes of cargo, up 11% year on year, and 18,346 containers — a 188% jump driven by growing boxed trade. The port also takes general break-bulk and RoRo shipments across roughly 1,147 m of quay on a 220-hectare estate. Its hinterland covers the Oran region and western Algeria, served by road and rail, with clearance through the Algerian customs (Douanes). For very large container volumes or hydrocarbon bulk exports, nearby Oran and Arzew remain the stronger options. For grain, consumer goods and mid-sized container flows into western Algeria, however, Mostaganem is a practical gateway.
