Aqaba Containers Terminal
Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) is the only Jordanian container terminal. It is a major gateway for the Jordanian market, as well as for transit cargo moving to and from other countries in the region. In 2004 a contract was signed between Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) and APM Terminals, agreeing that APM Terminals Jordan will operate, manage and market ACT for an initial period of two years. ACT is committed to providing a world class facility for its customers, and continuously looks for further enhancements and developments. This has already resulted in a number of upgrades to the facility and its equipment
