AMMAN — Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) has welcomed the maiden call of UASC MV UNAYZAH as part of the RES service. Representatives from ACT’s management and UASC Jordan agents arranged for a visit to the vessel. ACT CEO Robert Snow welcomed the vessel to Aqaba and ACT, and presented the captain with a plaque to commemorate the maiden call, according to an ACT statement.
The arrival of 13000+ TEU vessels to Aqaba and ACT is not only a great achievement for ACT, following the recent expansion of the terminal, but also a sign of customer confidence in its operational and performance capabilities, the statement quoted Snow as saying. Despite ongoing regional instability, ACT is proud to be able to welcome and handle such vessel calls, which will further improve supply chain processes and the Jordanian economy, the statement said.
