Algiers, Algeria | June 5th, 2024 — Algérie Ferries, the state-owned maritime company, has announced significant changes to its ferry schedule between Algeria and Marseille due to a planned workers’ strike at the Port of Marseille. The strike, scheduled from June 4 to June 28, has necessitated adjustments to ensure minimal disruption for travelers.
In a statement on their official Facebook page, Algérie Ferries detailed the schedule changes affecting crossings between June 6 and June 10:
– Marseille to Algiers: The crossing initially scheduled for June 6 is postponed to June 7 at 12:00 PM. The June 8 crossing is rescheduled from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
– Marseille to Skikda: The crossing planned for June 7 at 5:00 PM is rescheduled to June 8 at 10:00 AM. The June 9 crossing will now depart at 11:00 AM instead of the originally scheduled 12:00 PM.
