CNAN-G, SAPS Partner to Transport 100,000 Tonnes of Algerian Exports

The Algerian National Maritime Company (CNAN-G) and the Arab Public Services Company (SAPS) have formally entered into a strategic maritime transport agreement. Signed at the national shipowner's headquarters by CNAN-G CEO Mohamed Miraoui and SAPS Director General Seyed Outhman Ould Cheikh Malainine, this accord focuses on the transportation of 100,000 tonnes of Algerian construction materials destined for Mauritania. This development aligns with Algeria's accelerated economic diversification strategy and its broader commitment to promoting non-hydrocarbon exports and strengthening South-South cooperation.

This logistical alliance facilitates direct access for national industrialists to the Mauritanian market, offering more competitive freight costs and reduced delivery times. The initiative is designed to ensure the sustainability of the Algeria-Mauritania maritime line by establishing regular monthly crossings. Such predictability is intended to benefit economic operators in both nations, supporting consistent trade flows.

Beyond immediate export logistics, the agreement also encompasses a strategic two-way commercial dimension. By evolving this maritime connection into a stable commercial corridor, Algeria aims to reinforce its position as a regional logistics hub. This partnership not only creates a direct trade pathway to Mauritania but also serves as a gateway to the expanding markets across West Africa.
