The Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Oran, Mohamed Aïci Mazari has been removed from his post following the allision of the ferry 'Tassili II' with the 'Han Xin' on Sep 1 inside the port. The decision was made by the Minister of Public Works and Transport, Abdelghani Zaalane, the day after this accident. Installed in this position in 2016, Aïci will not have lasted more than two years. The 'Tassili II' had hit the cargo ship while leaving the port of Oran bound to Alicante, with 1287 passengers and 305 vehicleson board. Passengers waiting at the port of Alicante for Oran had to delay their journey by more than 24 hours, while a steel sheet was welded onto the breach in the starboard side foreship. The 'Han Xin' had been pushed into the dock and suffered a leak. She remained in port by Sep 5. Repairs were carried out on site.
