Baleària opens a new route between Barcelona and Algiers

FerryBaleària continues to diversify its connections to Algeria, with a new route from the port of Barcelona to Algiers, which is the company's first international line from the port of the Catalan capital. This service, for both passengers and freight, begins operating on 20 January, with departures on Mondays at 13:00 from Barcelona and on Saturdays at 14:00 from Algiers.

The company currently offers four routes to Algeria: in addition to the new Barcelona-Algiers connection, Baleària maintains a weekly departure between Valencia and Algiers and another departure from the Valencian port to Oran or Mostaganem, depending on the week. In total, three weekly departures are offered between Spain and Algeria.

Baleària's general manager, Georges Bassoul, has stressed that the company wants to consolidate its routes with this country: "Algeria is a strategic market for Baleària, where we have growth prospects thanks to a quality offer adapted to the needs of passengers, and also of logistics companies." Bassoul also pointed out that this expansion of services "will improve connectivity between Spain and Algeria by sea with reliable and punctual services."

It is worth remembering that Baleària has been operating with Algeria since 2016, when it opened its first Valencia-Mostaganem route. Last October, it began operating between Valencia and Algiers, and in December between Valencia and Oran.

Baleària, which has been operating in Barcelona since 2003, makes daily connections with Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.
