Sea freight to Jordan via Aqaba Port
For large or heavy shipments, sea freight is the most cost-effective way to move goods to Jordan — and almost all of it flows through one gateway: the Port of Aqaba, the country’s only seaport. Vertex Logistics arranges ocean freight to Aqaba from origins worldwide, then handles clearance and inland delivery to Amman or anywhere in Jordan.
FCL and LCL container shipping
Whether you’re moving a full container load (FCL) or just a few pallets, we have you covered. Start with our container dimensions reference to pick the right box, or plan the stow in the 3D container load planner. For larger volumes we book full-container shipping at competitive rates. For smaller shipments, our LCL shipping service consolidates your cargo so you only pay for the space you use — managing booking, documentation, and Aqaba port shipping from origin to release.
From Aqaba to your door
Ocean freight is only half the journey. Once your cargo arrives, our team handles customs clearance at Aqaba and arranges inland transport to your warehouse. Because we manage both the shipping and the customs clearance in Jordan, there’s no handoff between vendors where delays creep in.
What is the Aqaba Logistics Village?
The Aqaba Logistics Village is a logistics zone next to the Aqaba Container Terminal, inside the Aqaba Special Economic Zone. It was developed under the Aqaba Development Corporation to give the port area dedicated space for warehousing, distribution and cargo support services, close to where containers are discharged.
For importers, the village is part of the infrastructure around the port rather than a separate route into Jordan. It can be used to store, consolidate or distribute cargo near the terminal, which suits some goods handled within the special economic zone or moved on to other markets. Most shipments for buyers in Amman and the rest of the Kingdom follow the usual path: discharge at Aqaba, customs clearance, then road transport north.
Whichever path your cargo takes, the steps after discharge should be planned before the vessel arrives. Vertex Logistics handles port release, customs clearance and inland trucking from Aqaba as one movement. If your goods will be stored before release, enter a special zone or be re-exported, tell us the intended use before shipping so we can advise which customs regime applies. Smaller volumes can travel as LCL consolidation, and the ocean freight via Aqaba page explains what we need to quote.
