New maritime route between Algeria and Barcelona

The National Enterprise of Maritime Transport is expected to open a new route between the Algiers Port and Barcelona and Palma on June 28th until September, according to a release from the European Federation of the Algerians’ Associations.

• Registrations in Barcelona and Palma are underway to open the new maritime route, said the release.

• Algerians living in Spain complain of the high price of travelling tickets. The Enterprise says it is due to the high price of oil fuel.

• The Federation’s chief Nourerdine Belmedah asked transport, energy and finance ministries to reduce tickets price for the Algerian community.

• The Federation complained of the dominance of informal sellers in boats. It said they bring their goods to Algerian in collaboration with customs officers in ports.
