TITLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 1 Entry and innocent passage of foreign warships in territorial waters, their entry in internal waters and calls at an Algerian port shall be subject to prior authorization by the competent Algerian authorities in accordance with the procedures established by this decree. Article 2 In the territorial waters, internal waters and ports of Algeria, foreign warships shall abstain from acts contrary to national sovereignty and from charting, submerging or sounding. They shall be prohibited from undertaking any military exercise except with special authorization from the competent Algerian authority. Article 3 In the territorial waters, internal waters and ports of Algeria, foreign warships shall respect national regulations, particularly on fiscal, health and customs matters. Article 4 Port regulations, particularly in regard to pilotage, shall apply to foreign warships on their entry in Algerian ports. TITLE II DEFINITIONS Article 5 The provisions of articles 1 to 4 above shall apply exclusively and in peacetime to warships.
2 Page 2 Article 6 The expression "warship" means warships, auxiliary ships, training ships, laboratory ships, submarines and other vessels for military use. The expression "innocent passage" means navigation in territorial waters for the purpose of traversing them without entering internal waters, or for the purpose of entering internal waters, or while proceeding to sea from internal waters. The expression "call" means the temporary stay of a foreign warship which has stopped or anchored in the territorial or internal waters, or at an Algerian port. TITLE III INNOCENT PASSAGE AND CALLS CHAPTER I INNOCENT PASSAGE Article 7 Passage is innocent so long as it is not prejudicial to the peace, security or public order of the Algerian State. Article 8 Passage includes the possibility of stopping and anchoring but only in so far as the stop or anchorage is incidental to ordinary navigation or is rendered necessary in the case of warships by force majeure or distress. In such a case, the commander of the warship shall inform the Algerian naval authorities without delay. The diplomatic or consular representatives of the country whose flag is shown by the warship shall be informed. Article 9 Once the circumstances which necessitated the stop or anchorage have disappeared, the foreign warship shall immediately put to sea again after the Algerian naval authorities have been so informed. In any event, unless special authorization is granted, the duration of the stop or anchorage shall not exceed 24 hours. Article 10 In conformity with the provisions of article 1 et seq. of this decree, the passage of a warship shall be subject to prior authorization by the Algerian authorities. Such authorization shall be requested by the foreign naval authorities from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at least 15 days before the date of entry into Algerian territorial waters.
3 Page 3 CHAPTER II CALLS Article 11 The call of a foreign warship in Algerian territorial waters or an Algerian port may be: - An official call, - A unofficial call, - A routine call, - A forced call. Article 12 During a call, visits may be exchanged. They shall be either official or courtesy. SECTION 1 OFFICIAL CALLS A call shall be official: Article 13 - When it is in response to an official invitation of the competent Algerian authority, or - When the Government of the country whose flag the visiting warship shows has expressed the wish that it should have such character. In such a case, the call shall be subject to the rules stipulated in article 14 below. Article 14 The official call of a foreign warship shall require authorization by the Algerian authorities. For that purpose, the foreign authorities shall address a request through the diplomatic channel to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at least 45 days before the planned arrival date of the warship in Algerian territorial waters or an Algerian port. Article 15 The naval or military attaché of the country whose warship has been authorized to make an official call and the Algerian naval authority shall, by mutual agreement, draw up the official programme for the call in conformity with international customs and practices. Article 16 A foreign warship on an official visit shall, upon arrival in Algerian territorial waters or an Algerian port, comply with international customs and national regulations on the issue of gun salutes.
4 Page 4 Article 17 Except when, otherwise expressly provided, gun salutes shall not exceed 21 rounds. Article 18 One or more liaison officers from the national navy shall be placed at the disposal of the commander of the foreign warship. SECTION 2 UNOFFICIAL CALLS Article 19 A call shall be termed unofficial when the two parties agree not to attach any special ceremony to it. Article 20 Except when otherwise provided by the competent Algerian authorities, calls of the following shall be considered unofficial: - Foreign training ships; - Warships accompanying the ships specified above during their journey. Article 21 The unofficial call of a foreign warship shall require authorization by the Algerian naval authorities. The foreign naval authorities shall address a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at least 30 days before the planned date of arrival of the visiting foreign warship. Article 22 The unofficial call of a foreign warship may be the occasion for gun salutes. For such a purpose, the commanders of visiting warships shall, through their accredited representatives to the Algerian Government, request the consent of the Algerian naval authorities at the port of call. Article 23 During unofficial calls, a courtesy visit may be paid to the naval or military authority of the host port by the commander of the warship.

5 Page 5 unofficial call and the Algerian authorities shall draw up the programme for the call of the visiting warship by mutual agreement. Article 26 One or more liaison officers of the national navy shall be placed at the disposal of the commander of the warship. SECTION 3 ROUTINE CALLS A call shall be termed routine: Article When its purpose is the transportation of equipment, personnel or fuel; 2. When its purpose is to carry out research, assistance or salvage operations; 3. When its purpose is to allow warships to repair minor damage; 4. When its purpose is to provision or revictual the warship. Article 28 Authorization for a foreign warship to make a routine call shall be requested in conformity with the procedure established for unofficial calls. However, the request shall be submitted to the competent Algerian authorities at least 15 days before the scheduled arrival date of the visiting warship. Nevertheless in cases covered by article 27, subparagraph 2, above, such request may be made without notice being required. Article 29 A routine call shall not be an occasion for gun salutes. Article 30 The routine call of a foreign warship shall not be the occasion for any visit. Nevertheless if the commander of the visiting warship expresses a wish to do so, he may make a personal visit to the naval or military authority of the host port. Article 31 The duration of a routine call by a foreign warship shall be established by the Algerian authorities according to the cases specified in article 27 above and circumstances. In no case shall such duration exceed five days. Article 32 A liaison officer may, in the case specified in section 3 of this decree, be seconded by the naval authority of the host port to the commander of the visiting warship in order to facilitate revictualling, provisioning or repair operations.
6 Page 6 SECTION 4 FORCED CALLS Article 33 A call shall be termed forced when a foreign warship is compelled to seek refuge in the territorial waters, in the internal waters or in an Algerian port as a consequence of serious damage, heavy weather or other cases of force majeure. Article 34 In the cases specified in article 33 above, the commander of the warship shall, before entering Algerian territorial waters, promptly inform the naval authority of the host port or, in his absence, the local military authority.

Article 35 Once the circumstances which gave rise to the forced call have disappeared, the foreign warship shall put to sea again after the Algerian naval authority has been informed. Article 36 The provisions of articles 30 and 32 above shall apply to the foreign warship during a forced call.

When the change occurs during passage or if it is minor, the authority responsible for the change shall inform the highest Algerian naval authority by message.
