Depth: The port features berths with a maximum depth of 12–14 meters, capable of accommodating container vessels up to Panamax class (65,000 DWT), suitable for 20ft, 40ft, and 40ft high-cube containers commonly used for Made-in-China goods.
Cranes & Terminals: It is equipped with 4 modern gantry cranes (including 2 post-Panamax cranes) and 2 operational container terminals. Port Skikda handles around 300,000 TEUs annually, ensuring efficient loading and unloading of consolidated shipments from Guangzhou.
Storage & Equipment: The port offers over 60,000 square meters of container storage area, along with reach stackers and terminal tractors to facilitate quick container movement—critical for timely delivery to eastern Algerian cities such as Skikda, Annaba, and Constantine.
Free Detention/Storage Period: Generally, there is an 8–12 days free detention period (for container use outside the port) and 5–8 days free storage period (within the port) for imported containers, providing sufficient time for customs clearance and onward transportation.
Rental Fees: Beyond the free period, the standard rates are approximately €8–13 per day for 20ft containers and €13–19 per day for 40ft containers. Thanks to our class 1 agent partnerships, we can negotiate favorable pricing for our clients, and local Skikda forwarder partners can further optimize these costs.
