Aqaba:The Board of Commissioners of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) has given the green light for the Mutah floating berth to receive vegetable oil tankers. This decision follows a recommendation by the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) and aims to boost port efficiency while reinforcing Aqaba's position as a key logistics hub in the region.
According to Jordan News Agency, ASEZA Chief Commissioner Shadi Al-Majali announced that the ADC is tasked with developing the operational plan for the berth. This development will be coordinated with ASEZA to ensure seamless integration and maintain high operational standards.
The Aqaba Company for Port Management and Operation will be responsible for operating the berth. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the port system, minimize vessel wait times, improve the flow of shipping, and reduce the strain on existing oil port berths.
Al-Majali further confirmed that all requisite environmental and traffic studies have been completed in conjunction with relevant stakeholders. These studies ensure adherence to environmental regulations and public safety standards. Additionally, Maqta Ayla Digital Solutions has been engaged to help organize and streamline tanker traffic.
