Aqaba Port Supports Growing Trade
The Aqaba Ports are operating with high efficiency to accommodate the growing flow of shipping and trade with regional markets. Since the beginning of 2026 up to the end of September, approximately 5.9 million tons of cargo have been handled, representing a growth of nearly 63% compared to the same period in 2025. The movement of dry bulk cargo increased by 76%, with maize alone rising by 107% to about 1.15 million tons. There has been a balanced activity in handling across different facilities, supported by Jordanian staff to ensure smooth operations. The port has also experienced a noticeable rise in container handling, especially transit containers, which increased by 930%, with Iraq now accounting for 46% of transit containers. This reflects the recovery and expansion of the ports' role in serving regional trade. Efforts to develop logistical facilities and enhance capabilities are ongoing to support growth, with ports continuously adapting to market demands and needs, despite some delays in border procedures and administrative completions.
