Maersk Line Jordan Connects Aqaba to South India
Maersk Line Jordan rolled out its new ME5 service, which directly connects Aqaba to South India and the Western Mediterranean.
The ME5 service aims to improve maritime transport in the Kingdom, with direct calls to Aqaba from key global logistical hubs and faster transit times under the strictest reliability standards, says a press release from the company.
This will solidify Aqaba's presence on the global logistical map by securing more reliable and efficient maritime transport services, which will have a lasting positive impact on Jordan's national supply chain and will help underscore Aqaba's position as a viable trade and investment hotspot.
With the launch of its ME5 service, Maersk Line Jordan will deliver two additional direct calls to Aqaba on both east and west bounds, in addition to the current direct service that Maersk Line operates from Northern Europe, for a total of four weekly sailings to and from Aqaba, three of which are direct services.
The new ME5 service will follow a rotation that will begin in Chennai and include scheduled stops at ports in Colombo, Salalah, Jeddah, Aqaba, Port Said, Algeciras, Valencia, Genoa, Port Said, Aqaba, Jeddah, Djibouti, Salalah and Colombo, before finally returning to Chennai.
The management of Maersk Line Jordan emphasized the company's commitment to the ongoing development of maritime transport services in the Kingdom, complemented by a varied lineup of logistical services.
