Cargo ship troubled off Bejaia
The 'Gulf West' got in distress on the evening of March 31, 2026, off the coast of Tichy, about 20 kilometers east of the provincial capital, Béjaïa, due to rough seas resulting from deteriorating weather conditions that have affected the region for several days. The vessel had left the port of Djen Djen, seeking shelter in the Bay of Béjaïa. The adverse weather conditions caused the ship to veer off course. It was swept by waves towards Tichy beach, with the risk of grounding aground. Two tugs were immediately dispatched from the port of Béjaïa to assist. The ship was moved away from the coast and to a safe position. A monitoring unit has been established to handle any potential interventions until the situation stabilised.
