Amman, April 8 (Petra) – The first quarter of 2025 has seen a significant increase in container traffic through the Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT), with the number of containers arriving with imported goods rising by 25% compared to the same period last year.
According to data from the Jordanian Logistics Association(JLA), a total of 109,621 containers were handled at the port during the first quarter, up from 87,708 in the first quarter of 2024.
The statistics also show a positive trend in exports, with the number of containers carrying goods out of Jordan through ACT increasing by 12.5% year-over-year.
The total number of containers leaving the port during the first quarter of 2025 reached 25,693, compared to 22,836 during the same period in 2024.
The data for March 2025 also reflects this upward trend, with inbound container traffic growing by 2.2% to reach 37,794 containers, up from 36,979 in March 2024. Similarly, the number of containers exported during the same month saw a 12.5% rise, reaching 9,265, compared to 8,234 in March 2024.

He noted that this resurgence in port operations could have a positive effect on the country's economy, particularly for the transportation sector, which plays a central role in driving economic growth.
Khatib, who also serves as the First Vice President of the Amman Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the need to further enhance the competitiveness of the Aqaba port. This includes making the port more attractive to maritime trade and encouraging more business from importers and exporters, especially those moving goods to Syria.

The association is a member of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA), a global organization founded in 1926.
