Overview
About This Port
Mostaganem is a Mediterranean sea port and capital city of Mostaganem province, in the northwest of Algeria in the Gulf of Arzew. Founded in the 11th century as Murustage, the city is 72 kilometres (45 mi) ENE of Oran and has origins dating back to Punic and Roman times. In 1516, it was captured by the Ottoman admiral Barbarossa and became a center for Mediterranean Sea corsairs, as well as a commercial port. By 1700, it had come under Ottoman rule. In 1833, the city was taken by France and a garrison established. Algeria became independent in 1962.

Port-call activity
Arrivals, time in port and cargo operations detected from AIS — the position-inferred congestion signal, with the full dwell distribution rather than a single average.
Expected arrivals
3 inboundVessels underway broadcasting a destination that resolves to this port, closest first. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals); the computed ETA is at the vessel’s passage speed. The crew’s own reported ETA is shown alongside for comparison.
| Vessel | Type | Distance | Speed | ETA (computed) | Crew ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LADY SPERANZA | Bulk Carrier | 115 nm | 9.9 kn | 30 Jun | — |
| MEDKON NLS | Container Ship | 184 nm | 8.5 kn | 1 Jul | 30 Jun |
| OPPLAND | General Cargo | 1694 nm | 10.3 kn | 7 Jul | 6 Jul |
Risk & quality
Port risk & quality
A coverage-weighted blend of recorded Port-State-Control detentions, marine casualties and live congestion at Mostaganem. Higher means more risk exposure for a ship calling here — it is a count of recorded events, not a judgement of the port's management.
Built from 33% of the three signals (scored on a single signal — treat as indicative).
Method. Each signal is normalised to 0–10 against an empirical cap, then blended weighting safety (detentions 0.40, casualties 0.35) above operational congestion (0.25). A port is scored only on the signals it has data for, and the weights renormalise — a missing signal is never credited as a safe 0.
Coverage. PSC and casualty data here is regional (US, UK, Canada), so most ports show only congestion and carry a low-confidence flag. Detention/casualty counts come from a country-scoped name match (≈60% of US detentions resolve); unmatched records are dropped, not force-fit.
Detention and casualty signals are screened against open port-state-control and marine-casualty records, combined with our own AIS-derived congestion. Updated Jun 23, 2026.
