About This Seaport
Carrying UN/LOCODE DZ BSF, Beni Saf is a small artificial harbour on Algeria's Mediterranean coast in Aïn Témouchent Province, protected by two breakwaters and enclosing roughly 18 hectares of water. Founded in 1876 to ship iron ore mined just inland, it still handles minerals — iron ore, zinc, marble and onyx — served by a conveyor rated at about 500 tonnes per hour. It is also regarded as one of the most active fishing ports on the Algerian coast, so commercial freight and the fishing fleet share the basin. Container and international liner services are not confirmed here; for those, the large multipurpose port of Oran, some 80 km to the northeast, is the practical alternative, with Ghazaouet a closer option to the west. Beni Saf is therefore best suited to regional mineral and bulk exports alongside its fisheries role.
