Al-Qatamin said the result demonstrated the joint Arab venture’s capacity for sustainable commercial and operational growth. He described transport and logistics as key sectors in Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision and Aqaba as the Kingdom’s maritime gateway and an important trade and transit center.

The company-meeting report carried by SIS separately said truck transport rose 15% and fleet renewal and route plans were underway. The financial figure in this Petra report covers the nine months through September 30; it is not presented as a full-year net profit.
