ACT marks
Global Safety Day with comprehensive awareness campaign
Aqaba Container Terminal, the preferred gateway to Jordan and beyond, recently celebrated Global Safety
Day with a global awareness campaign under the theme of “Safety 24/7,” carrying out a number of activities
for the employees, for the members of community of Aqaba, trucking companies, children and students of
Aqaba. The Global Safety Day also highlighted the excellent support and collaboration received from the
civil defense.
ACT initiated Global Safety Day by conducting a meeting between truck owners and representatives from
the company to discuss the most important issues regarding the safety of truck drivers at the terminal,
before taking the day’s participants on a tour of the terminal’s facilities, accompanied by a brief demonstration of ACT’s diverse operations and activities.
The day featured numerous activities that demonstrated ACT’s commitment to raising safety awareness
among its employees and all external business partners and port users. Participants were able to witness how
the emergency response plan is deployed in case of complex situations such as chemical leakage from
container caused by a nearby fire. In cooperation with Aqaba Civil Defense, the practical exercise aimed at
training ACT employees to act as fast, safely and efficiently as possible in dealing with potential emergency
situations. The training was conducted in the presence of ACT employees and school students to enhance
and promote a culture of safety among the local community.
Commenting on the occasion, Head of HSSE at ACT, Feras Al Taweil, said, “Our dedicated safety approach
at ACT is what helps us maintain world-class safety standards, it’s now part of all our activities and our work
can’t be done if not done safely. Through the Global Safety Day activities and awareness sessions, truck
drivers received an unprecedented amount of information on how to improve the efficiency of their trucks,
overcome issues while driving, and ensure the safe transportation of goods.”
Global Safety Day also included awareness sessions for private truck drivers concerning their safety inside
and outside of the terminal, where they were provided with special reflective vests designed for the event, in
addition to brochures with information on how to be safe when driving on main roads and inside of the
terminal.

Continuous improvement projects – Operations Department
Changing the layout of yard 6 is one of the initiatives to avoid any interference between external trucks and
terminal trucks. Such interference may lead to congestion in the yard, causing accidents and reduce productivity. Hence the need to set new traffic plan to segregate the external divers from the terminal truck and
organize the yard.
To achieve these targets, new traffic plan has been set, jersey barriers has been fixed also traffic signs has
been designed to be fixed in the yard to segregate the terminal trucks works from the non-terminal trucks .
