Aqaba Port Keeps Goods Flowing Amid Regional Tensions
The Union of Customs Clearance and Cargo Transport Companies stated that Aqaba Port has maintained smooth cargo flow and continued import and clearance operations, despite regional security disturbances that have affected shipping costs, insurance, and delivery times. The port's operational capacity increased from 900 to 1,200 containers daily, while the average container stay decreased from 15 to 12 days. Trade volume remains at a reasonable level, with the value of imports via the Bab al-Mandeb route estimated at around $6.6 billion annually and exports exceeding $2 billion. This indicates that the impact of the disturbances primarily affects costs and time rather than the availability of goods or the port's operational capacity.
