CMA CGM NAF Lines is re-opening a regular service from Barcelona to Djen Djen on EURONAF service with immediate effect.
First Departure: m/v VEGA OMICRON voy. 001OGS ETS Barcelona on July 15th, 2016, ETA Djen Djen on July 19th, 2016.
CMA CGM was the first line to launch a container vessel into Djen Djen in October 2013 in order to offer a solution without congestion to its customers used to import via Bejaia.
For more than one month, Bejaia has once again been facing a severe congestion (from 10 to 30 days waiting time for ships before getting a berth).
Djen Djen remains the good alternative to Bejaia for some receivers.
The main advantages of Djen Djen port are the following: Congestion free
Ideal location: approx. 100 kms (East direction) from Bejaia and road connections to Sétif, Constantine…Improved Transit Time compared to POD Oran.
