جواز السفر البحري الجزائري : سبيل الدول الشمالية للولوج الآمن إلى البحر الأبيض المتوسط

Abstract EN

When the Swedo-Algerian peace treaty of 1729 and the DanoAlgerian peace treaty of 1746 took place, one of their articles stood for issuing the so-called "Algerian sea-pass", to give Scandinavian shipmasters a permission to prove that their ships or cargos belong to either Scandinavian (Sweden and Denmark-Norway) kings, or Scandinavian subjects.

Such action gave these ships a freedom to easily set sail into the Mediterranean Sea and trade-safely with its countries regardless of the Algerian corsairs' presence in the basin.

As a result, Swedish and Danish trade knew some booms, especially when these two kingdoms maintained their neutrality toward the major European wars of the 18th century.

This paper, comes to shed light and focus on the Algerian seapass, by asserting on processes that Algeria stepped up to issue the seapass document, as the paper shows differentiations of Scandinavian countries’ Sea-passes from other countries had such kind of permission that were allowing them to set sail into the basin.

Therefore, this article treats the nature of Algerian sea-pass, the way being issued and it finally tackles the number of the required conditions for countries to get it.
