LONDON
(ICIS)–Algerian fertilizer major Fertial on Wednesday issued
a sales tender for around 380,000 tonnes of ammonia for
loading over a six-month period at ports close to its two
plants.
According to a company source, interested
parties have until 21 February to submit bids for
the cargoes, which will be available for loading in
Arzew and Annaba from March until September.
The Annaba-headquartered producer,
which also produces nitrogen phosphate potassium (NPKs), is
offering buyers the opportunity to load around 65,000
tonnes/month of the nitrogen product.
Previous tenders have
been shared by Norway’s Yara and Spain’s Fertiberia
and the cargoes discharged in countries including
France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Italy and
Portugal.
Algerian ammonia is popular with European
buyers as it enjoys duty-free access to the EU. In contrast,
Russian ammonia attracts duty of around 5.5%.
