Aseza chief Nasser Shraideh said that the new port represents a leap forward in terms of the quality, versatility and speed of cargo movement, allowing the country to compete with the other major Red Sea ports. The 250-million-dollar project has involved construction of 12 terminals capable of handling different kinds of liquids including oil and the doubling of the capacity of the grain silos to 16,000 tonnes. UAE company Marsa Zayed will transform the old port into a tourist and cultural site.

The local authorities in Aqaba hope to attract up to 25 billion dollars in investment by the end of 2025. *ANSA
