Aqaba Container Terminal wins Lloyd’s List’s Terminal Operator Award

AQABA — The Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) received the 2018 Lloyd’s List Terminal Operator Award on November 27, during their South Asia, Middle East & Africa Award ceremony in Dubai.

Criteria for the evaluation of the terminal’s overall performance include safety records, operational efficiency and customer care. Since 2006, ACT has invested more than $300 million to further expand its capacity and secure status as the preferred Red Sea gateway to the Middle East.

Operated by APM Terminals and equipped with the latest systems and technology, ACT has consistently improved its operational efficiency, increased its volumes in adverse geopolitical conditions and supported the national effort against unemployment by reaching an impressive nationalisation rate of 99.6 per cent.
