The board of commissioners of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) has approved a recommendation by Aqaba Development Corporation to allocate the Mu'tah floating pier to receive vegetable oil ships. The aim is to improve the efficiency of Aqaba's port system, raise its readiness and consolidate its position as a regional logistics hub.

Board Chairman Shadi Al-Majali said in a statement on Wednesday that Aqaba Development Corporation will prepare the pier's operational plan in coordination with the Authority, ensuring that the roles of the relevant bodies complement one another and that operations are managed at the highest level of efficiency.
He added that Aqaba Port Management and Operation Company will run the pier as part of efforts to develop the port system and reduce ships' waiting times, which will improve the flow of vessel traffic and ease pressure on the oil port's berths.
Al-Majali confirmed that all necessary environmental and traffic studies for the pier's operation have been completed. Coordination is ongoing with partners and relevant bodies to ensure compliance with environmental requirements and public safety standards, as well as with Maqta Ayla company to organise and smooth tanker traffic.
