Mandatory Digitization.. Reducing Paperwork and Abandoning Alternative Procedures at Ports!

Algerian ports have begun to expand the implementation of digital procedures as part of the modernization and digitization of port services, aiming to reduce paperwork, facilitate information exchange, and improve the flow of operations among various stakeholders in port activities. This direction has led the Skikda Port Authority to emphasize the mandatory use of the electronic 'Delivery Receipt' service in the relevant operations. According to a letter from the Skikda Port Authority, which was reviewed by 'Echorouk', numbered '2026/2750' and dated September 30, 2026, the authority has instructed shipping agents to regularly and mandatorily use the 'Delivery Receipt' unit via the digital platform of the Algerian port community.
