Abu Aqoula Warns of Bab al-Mandab Disruptions
Any disruptions along the Bab al-Mandeb Strait lead to increased trade and supply chain costs in Jordan, as this route accounts for 28% of the country's foreign trade, valued at approximately $6.6 billion annually for imports, in addition to exports exceeding $2 billion. Despite security challenges in the region, rising shipping and insurance costs, and delays in cargo arrivals, Jordan has managed to maintain operational continuity. The transit time for containers at Aqaba Port decreased from about 15 to 12 days, and the number of containers handled daily increased from 900 to 1,200, helping to ensure the ongoing import and clearance of goods.
