Reinforced Fleet and Promotional Rates at Algérie Ferries
To ensure reliable service and accommodate the summer influx,Algérie Ferrieswill need to mobilize its entire fleet of four vessels: El Djazair II, Tassili II, Tariq Ibn Ziyad, and Badji Mokhtar. However, the two ferries, Tariq Ibn Ziyad and Tassili II, are currently in Greece for repairs and maintenance. The date of their return to service is not yet known.
