Government actions on port and supply chain issues
The Jordanian government has decided to implement measures to strengthen the port system and supply chains, with the aim of addressing operational challenges and reducing delays. These measures include increasing the allowed grace period for exports from the Port of Aqaba from 7 to 14 days for a period of six months, and lowering the fines for goods destruction from 450 to 50 Jordanian dinars per ton for three months. Additionally, the number of daily truck trips has been raised to nine, with provisions to facilitate the transport of two containers at a time, giving priority to foodstuffs and national exports. The goal is to improve port efficiency and reduce container dwell times, thereby accelerating goods flow and reducing costs for consumers and the national economy.
