As a premier gateway and transit hub, Aqaba Container Terminal has served as the logistical and economic backbone supporting both the Jordanian economy and neighboring countries. Therefore, it was a milestone for APM Terminals to have approval to extend the current concession with 15 years reaching until 2046.     “This renewal marks the next steps of our ambitious future plans to upgrade the terminal in Aqaba, Jordan" says APM Terminals' CEO Keith Svendsen and continues: “The extension of the partnership underlines our successful public-private partnership in Jordan and it will help us expand and develop our relationship even further, exploring the opportunities in creating a green corridor connecting the supply chains of Jordan, while at the same time it is a central value for APM Terminals to develop job opportunities and upskilling of our employees to the benefit of the Kingdom.” More information here: https://lnkd.in/dnMSQpME

The demanding standards which Vado Reefer Terminal has set itself are bearing fruit, passing a recent Supplier Accountability Audit with flying colours.    The inspection was conducted by Zespri International, the world’s largest supplier of kiwifruit, which it markets in over 50 countries. It presented the terminal with the opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to quality and excellence. Among the rigorous examinations of logistics procedures were assessments of the warehouse structural conditions, services offered and the management of pallets, with particular attention to the constant monitoring of temperatures.     Quality control is a vital part of the work conducted at the Vado Ligure port location. The terminal at the port of Vado Ligure specializes in fruit logistics and offers supply chains to markets in Northern Italy, Southern France, Switzerland, Bavaria and beyond.
