2,500 kn long corridor connects Jebel Ali to Naseeb-Jaber border crossing
DP World has established a 2,500 kilometre long transport corridor from Jebel Ali to the Naseeb-Jaber border crossing between Jordan and Syria.
Trucks loaded with goods at its flagship Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone in the UAE have travelled through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon in close collaboration with all customs authorities and customers.
The Naseeb-Jaber crossing was once one of the busiest checkpoints on the Damascus-Amman international highway and is the main crossing for Syrian exports to Jordan and Gulf countries.
The first convoy of three Dubai-registered trucks set off from Jafza loaded with dry and reefer cargo from Green Cedar Company, DP World’s partner in the transnational humanitarian operation and a Jafza-based logistics provider.
As many as 350 commercial trucks carrying electronics, detergent, chocolate, other foodstuffs and cars used to enter Syria and pass through to other countries daily before the closure of the border in the last three years.
The Naseeb border is the lifeline of the Jordanian economy as 70% of its imports and exports pass through Syria under normal circumstances.
