Annaba Coal Terminal is an import coal terminal in the city of Annaba in Algeria.[1] The terminal is owned by Public Economic Port Enterprise (EPE-SPA) as of 1988.[2]
Location
The terminal is located at the far northeastern corner of Algeria's Mediterranean coast.
Background
The Annaba Coal Terminal is not a standalone facility but a berth allocation within the Port of Annaba, a state-owned commercial port on Algeria's north-eastern Mediterranean coast. Coal is handled at Berth No. 13, part of the port's Bulk and Steel Products Terminal, which serves both coal and iron ore imports.[3] The port is operated by Entreprise Portuaire d'Annaba (EPAN), a public economic enterprise (EPE-SpA) with share capital of 3 billion Algerian dinars, wholly owned by Groupe SERPORT, the Algerian state's port-services holding company. [4]
Berth No. 13 is equipped with four gantry cranes each rated at 800 to 1,000 tonnes per hour and can accommodate vessels of up to 55,000 DWT at a draft of 14 meters. Adjacent Berths 14 and 15, totaling 630 meters of quay, handle steel products in both directions. The coal moving across Berth 13 is consumed almost entirely by the Sider El Hadjar Annaba Steel Plant, located roughly 8 kilometers south of the city.[5] The terminal therefore functions principally as a captive import gateway for a single industrial consumer rather than as a merchant coal facility.
