Aqaba Logistics Village

What Aqaba Logistics Village does

Aqaba Logistics Village (ALV) is a private logistics facility operating on a 470,000 sqm site directly adjacent to Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZA), Jordan. The facility is managed by APM Terminals, part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, under a national mandate to develop Aqaba as a regional logistics and cargo support hub. ALV serves importers, exporters, clearing agents, shipping agents, and cross-border transit cargo operators serving Jordan, the Levant, and surrounding regions including Iraq.

ALV operates six integrated core service lines: a 10,000 sqm Container Freight Station (CFS) handling more than 3,500 TEUs of less-than-container-load cargo annually; 20,000 sqm of distribution centers providing commercial warehousing (shunting, unstuffing, storage, sorting, palletizing, packing, wrapping, distribution); 48,000 sqm of open yards for vehicles, containers, cables, and oversized cargo; cross-docking and cross-stuffing services (ALV is the Number 1 facility in Jordan for import cross-docking with specialty in cross-border transit cargo); a 5,000 sqm service center offering on-site rental office space to clearing and shipping agents; and the ALV Services Portal (E-Tracking), a web application providing Bill of Lading status tracking, e-invoice preparation, e-payment via e-Fwateercom, and AWDMS XML file upload for container agents.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees (off-loading fees per container, storage fees per CBM/Ton tiered by dwell time, loading and inspection fees per CBM/Ton), subscription/recurring income from office and yard rentals, and professional services for cross-docking and warehousing operations. Pricing is regulated — the CFS tariff was published in the official Gazette on April 16, 2017. Customers include global shipping lines (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Cosco, Hapag-Lloyd, PIL), automotive manufacturers (Nissan, Ford, Suzuki, Mitsubishi), regional logistics firms, manufacturers, commodities traders, and humanitarian organizations (ICRC). Go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B engagement at the site, supplemented by a website (alv.jo) for rate requests, service information, and digital portal access.
