On May 3, 2025, in the Annaba Port District, Algeria, North Africa, with the "Tianqi" pumping, this landmark moment announced that the "Tianqi" was officially engaged in the dredging operation construction of the Annaba Port expansion mining terminal project. This is not only another major progress in the construction of overseas projects of China's harbor, but also a vivid portrayal of deepening cooperation and joint development between China and Arab countries.

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is highly compatible with Algeria's national development strategy. The Belt and Road Initiative aims to promote economic cooperation and connectivity among countries along the route, while Algeria is actively promoting infrastructure development and economic diversification. As an important participant in the Belt and Road Initiative, China Harbor has been committed to expanding its business overseas and contributing to local economic development. The participation in the Annaba Port Expansion Mining Terminal Project is a concrete embodiment of China Harbor's response to the Belt and Road Initiative and its practice of the principle of "extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits".

The Algerian government attaches great importance to the construction of port infrastructure as a key measure to promote economic growth and foreign trade. As one of the important ports in Algeria, the expansion project of the Port of Annaba is of great significance to improve the port's throughput capacity, optimize the logistics supply chain, and promote regional economic development. With its rich experience and advanced technology in the field of dredging and port construction, China Harbor is perfectly connected with the development needs of Algeria and provides a solid guarantee for the smooth implementation of the project.

As a benchmark for the independence of China's dredging equipment, the "Tianqi" has brought strong technical support to the expansion project of Annaba Port. The project is strategically located in the southwest of Annaba Bay and bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north. The dredging volume of the project exceeds 11.1 million square meters, and the amount of blowing and filling is about 4.6 million square meters, and the construction content covers the excavation of wharf foundation trench, breakwater foundation trench excavation, port basin and channel dredging and rear yard blowing and filling.

"Tianqi" has efficient and accurate dredging capacity, which can meet the large-scale and high-standard construction requirements of the project. During the construction process, China Harbor's professional team will give full play to its technical advantages and work in strict accordance with international standards and local specifications to ensure the quality and safety of the project. At the same time, China Harbor will also pay attention to environmental protection and adopt advanced environmental protection technology to reduce the impact of construction on the surrounding environment.

After the completion of the Annaba Port Expansion Mining Terminal Project, it will have a profound impact on the local economic and social development. First, the increase in port capacity will attract more trade and investment, and promote the development of Algeria's foreign trade. Phosphate rock is one of Algeria's important export commodities, and the new phosphate rock terminal will provide more convenient access for its exports and improve the market competitiveness of its products; Second, the development of the port will also drive the prosperity of related industries, such as logistics, warehousing, processing, etc., create a large number of employment opportunities and increase the income of local residents; Third, it will improve the local infrastructure conditions and improve the quality of life of residents; Fourth, it will promote local cultural exchanges and social integration, and enhance friendship and mutual trust between the Chinese and Arab peoples.

China Harbor will continue to adhere to the development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing", give full play to its own advantages, and actively participate in Algeria's infrastructure construction and economic development. It is believed that with the joint efforts of the governments and enterprises of China and Argentina, the project of expanding the mining terminal at the Port of Annaba will become a model of cooperation between China and Argentina and inject new impetus into the friendly cooperation and common development between the two countries.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
