AQABA — Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT), a gateway to Jordan and beyond, recently announced receiving “ISO 14001:2015”certification. This certificate is an international standard for an environmental management system (EMS) that helps businesses, such as ACT control and improves practices that are potentially harmful to the environment.
