Aqaba Terminal frees up berth space

Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) has completed the removal of its second gantry crane, wrapping up the final phase of a major modernization project.

The removal frees up valuable berth space, allowing the terminal to operate more efficiently. With seven modern ship-to-shore (STS) cranes now in service, ACT can handle vessels faster and cut down on berth waiting times. Additionally, ACT can speed up cargo turnaround for customers. The upgrade is expected to make vessel calls more predictable and keep shipping schedules on track.

ACT has also tied the modernization to its sustainability goals. So, ATC will recycle all dismantled equipment.
