Maqta Gateway will have a 51 percent stake in Maqta Ayla, while ADC will own 49 percent.

The joint venture company will revolutionize Aqaba’s port operations by implementing a Port Community System (PCS) that leverages Maqta Gateway’s expertise, also marking the first-ever export of Abu Dhabi’s key port digitalization solution.

The PCS will facilitate communications and transactions between the Ports of Aqaba, its terminal operators, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA), ADC, and other stakeholders within the port’s ecosystem, streamlining services and building next-level efficiencies for the port city of Aqaba and Jordan.

The solution is expected to be operational within twelve months, expecting to deliver carbon emission reductions worth 90,000 in-person visits within a year
