Algeria is one of North Africa’s busiest trade hubs and its growing market means there is constant demand for reliable shipping services. If you are planning to ship a car to Algeria or even heavy machinery and project cargo, our team will ensure it arrives safely, on time, and with all the correct paperwork in place. Shipping a Car to Algeria There are two main methods to ship a car in Algeria:
1. Roll on/ Roll off (RORO) – The simplest and most economical way to ship a car to Algeria. Vehicles are driven onto a vessel, secured, and transported safely to Algerian ports.
2. Container Shipping: Cars are loaded into containers, offering extra protection. This option is ideal if you want to send personal items with the car, or if security is a key concern.
Before loading, cars must be clean, free of personal belongings (unless containerised), and contain no more than a quarter tank of fuel. Documentation such as the V5C, proof of ownership, and passport copies will also be required. Ports of Discharge in Algeria
We regularly arrange shipments to Algeria’s main ports of discharge, including:
 Alger (Algiers) – the capital and one of the busiest entry points
 Skikda – ideal for cargo destined for the eastern regions
 Oran – serving the western region and surrounding industries
 Djen Djen – a modern port handling a wide variety of cargo
Shipping Heavy Machinery and Project Cargo Our services extend far beyond vehicles. We also handle construction equipment, heavy machinery, and H&H projects of all kinds. This makes us a trusted logistics provider for clients in multiple industries who need reliable solutions for transporting large or specialist cargo.
Common shipping methods include:
 RORO is suitable for wheeled equipment that can be driven or rolled onto the vessel.
 Flat Rack Containers is used for oversized items that do not fit inside a standard container but can be secured on a flat platform.
 Breakbulk Shipping is ideal for very large or irregularly shaped machinery, where items are lifted directly onto the vessel.
Preparing heavy machinery for transport often involves draining fuel and oil, disconnecting batteries, and ensuring all parts are safely secured. Customs and Import Regulations Whether you want to Ship a Car, heavy machinery, or project cargo, customs clearance in
Algeria is a vital step. Typical requirements include:
 Commercial invoice and packing list.
 Bill of lading
 Import licences (for certain categories of machinery)
 Vehicle documents (for cars)
Import taxes and duties will apply, and these vary depending on the cargo type, the age and value of the vehicle or machine.
