On Saturday, January 21, 2023, the Algerian-Qatari Steel Company will start transporting iron ore through the port of Djen Djen, after the success of all the technical trials of the railway linking the company to the port of D
jen Djen at a distance of 50 km. The process will witness the programming of two trains per day with a capacity of 60 trailers, with an estimated freight capacity of between 3,600 tonnes, to rise to 12,000 tonnes per day, to reach in its first phase two million tonnes annually. This will allow the entry of the railway line into service, saving time and effort and reducing costs, in addition to reducing pressure on the road linking Jijel and Milia.
