Access to the port of Bejaia is blocked for the second day by the employees of Transbois who are on strike claiming the increase on their salaries. The employees have put a big vehicle to prevent the access to the wood terminal and the containers terminal.

The port is paralyzed and trucks could not get inside the port, and the discharging cadence is very slow.
