Tosyali Algerie has shipped 20,127 tons of steel coils to the United States, with the cargo loaded at Arzew Port in Oran province onto the vessel Federal Churchill, according to local media reports.
The shipment forms part of Algeria’s efforts to diversify exports beyond hydrocarbons and expand the international reach of its industrial products. Arzew Port Enterprise said the operation reflects its efforts to facilitate export movements and improve port performance.
The port authority added that the operation aligns with recommendations to strengthen ports’ contribution to national exports and streamline the movement of Algerian industrial goods to overseas markets.
Tosyali Algerie is Africa’s largest integrated iron and steel complex, producing more than 6 mln tons of liquid steel annually. Its integrated operations include DRI, billet, rebar, wire rod and pipe production lines. The company has recently commissioned hot-rolled and cold-rolled flat steel facilities and is completing downstream galvanizing and automotive-grade steel processing units under its Phase 4 expansion, which is expected to raise total steelmaking capacity to 9.5 mln tons per year.
