Algérie Ferries Strengthens National Teams with 40 Officer Positions

The national maritime company, Algérie Ferries, has initiated a recruitment drive to reinforce its teams by filling 40 officer positions. This announcement, made public recently, outlines opportunities for 20 lieutenant bridge officers and 20 mechanic officers. The initiative aims to bolster the company's operational capacity and contribute to national employment opportunities within the maritime sector.

For the lieutenant bridge positions, Algérie Ferries is seeking candidates who hold a watchkeeping officer certificate. Prospective mechanic officers are required to possess a watchkeeping engineer officer certificate. Both categories of candidates must also hold all required, valid STCW safety and specialization certificates, in accordance with international regulations. Additionally, applicants must meet specific medical criteria for navigation, including a valid physical and visual aptitude certificate issued by an approved maritime physician, and must present a negative result for psychotropic substance and drug screening tests, aligning with the ISM Code and the company's safety policy.

While the company desires prior sea experience on commercial vessels, particular value is placed on experience gained on passenger ships or car-ferries. Algérie Ferries highlights several benefits for future recruits, including a positive working environment, a salary that complies with the current collective agreement, and prospects for career advancement, alongside social benefits. Interested individuals can contact the company directly for details on application procedures, as no specific deadline was provided in the announcement.
