Aqaba trade growth strategy
The Investment Commissioner at the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, Mohamed Abu Omar, revealed a strategic plan to address the rapid growth in trade and transit movement through Aqaba, which has experienced significant increases—such as a 160.8% rise in transit container volumes, a 933% increase in containers destined for Iraq, and a 131.2% increase in truck movements along the Karama–Tribil axis. Additional yards have been allocated to accommodate this growth, including a yard behind the logistics village with a capacity of 2,300 containers, and the preparation of yard No. (10) spanning 67,500 square meters, along with a yard designated for long-container storage. The current operational capacity of Aqaba Port reaches approximately 1.3 million containers annually, with ongoing expansion and infrastructure upgrades—including projects to establish new ports, plans to enhance the security and supply of oil and liquid products, expansion of storage areas, and modern shipping management initiatives. These strategies aim to improve the efficiency of the logistics system and enhance Aqaba’s competitive edge. Additionally, investment partnerships are being signed to transform the port into a green port and to implement projects that bolster energy security. These plans will contribute to supporting regional trade growth and achieving sustainable development goals up to 2040.
