Aqaba Container Terminal posts July growth and efficiency
AQABA Container Terminal (ACT), the leading gateway for the Levant region, achieved significant growth and operational milestones in July 2024, reports Rotterdam's Maritime News.
The terminal handled a total volume of 76,000 TEU, marking an eight per cent year-on-year increase.
This growth was driven by introducing eight new regular services and the accommodation of 20 ad hoc vessels servicing over 45 shipping lines.
ACT also recorded 49 congestion-free vessel calls, the highest in a decade, alongside a historic rise in transshipment volumes, reinforcing its role as a key logistics hub in the region.
On land, ACT saw nearly 32,000 truck visits with an average handling time of 30 minutes, reducing idle time and expediting deliveries for importers and exporters.
"July was a landmark month for us at ACT. Our achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to operational excellence and efficiency," said Aqaba Container Terminal CEO Harald Nijhof.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to ASEZA, ADC, Jordan Customs, our customers, and all governmental departments."
