The Arab Bridge Maritime Company celebrated its 40th anniversary with unprecedented financial and operational results, as Egypt’s Transport Minister Kamel El-Wazir chaired the firm’s 87th General Assembly alongside his Jordanian counterpart.
The company reported its highest-ever annual profit of $32 million in 2025, surpassing the $30 million achieved the previous year. Passenger traffic rose 26 percent to 317,000 travelers, while truck transport reached a record 79,198 units, underscoring the company’s role in regional trade.
General Manager Adnan Al-Abadleh highlighted the company’s expansion in tourism, with 130,000 tourists carried on the Aqaba–Taba line, a 52 percent increase. New vessels “Dahab” and “New Aqaba” boosted connectivity between Jordan’s Golden Triangle and Egypt’s South Sinai resorts.
The company also unveiled plans for major investments, including a shipyard in Safaga and a repair facility in Sharm El-Sheikh, alongside a partnership to manage Aqaba’s passenger terminal.
El-Wazir lauded the company as a pillar of Arab cooperation, stressing Egypt’s ports remain open to regional trade.
Jordan’s Transport Minister Nidal Qatamin echoed the sentiment, calling Arab Bridge Maritime a model of resilience amid geopolitical challenges, ensuring continuity of passenger and cargo flows between Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and the Gulf.
