Hassan Visits Aqaba: Lays Foundation Stones for Ammonia and Gas Projects, Inspects Port Operations Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan conducted an inspection tour in Aqaba Governorate on Thursday, starting with the development project of the Durra border crossing. اضافة اعلان He directed that progress on the project be expedited, as part of a broader tour covering various sites, projects, and institutions in the governorate. The Prime Minister also reviewed operations at the newly developed Aqaba Port, which includes nine berths—two of which are dedicated to grain silos. The port's upgraded capacity now enables it to handle up to 6 million tons annually, contributing to a 9% increase in cargo handling compared to last year. Dr. Hassan praised the quality of services offered by the Emergency and Ambulance Center established by the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) at the industrial complex in southern Aqaba. The center provides comprehensive, 24/7 healthcare services free of charge to industrial workers and the local community. The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for a new double-walled ammonia storage tank, part of JPMC's efforts to modernize and upgrade its facilities. The tank will expand ammonia storage capacity to 55,000 tons, supporting future fertilizer production projects and meeting the highest safety and technical standards. He also laid the foundation stone for a project by the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company to construct two liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks at its Aqaba facility. With a combined capacity of 2,000 metric tons and a total cost exceeding 15 million dinars, the project aims to enhance LPG storage and distribution infrastructure, reduce transportation costs, and strengthen energy supply security. Additionally, the Prime Minister inspected progress at the International Marine Reserve Center of Aqaba, a project launched under Royal directives as a global model for the protection of the Gulf of Aqaba's unique coral reefs. His tour concluded with a visit to Aqaba Container Terminal, one of the Kingdom's most successful public-private partnership projects.

Jordan's JPMC, Indonesia partner to establish phosphoric acid plant
AMMAN — Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) Mohammad Thneibat and Indonesian Minister of State Owned Enterprises, Erick Thohir on Sunday agreed to establish a new joint plant to produce 200,000 tonnes of phosphoric acid annually. This would double the production capacity of the existing joint venture in Surabaya, Indonesia, to 400,000 tonnes. In a meeting, the two sides agreed to form a joint technical committee tasked with preparing the necessary studies for the implementation of the new project, to be presented to their respective boards of directors for approval within two months. Thneibat and Thohir discussed ways to enhance existing cooperation and expand joint investments, particularly in the fertiliser sector to meet the needs of the Indonesian market. They commended their partnership in manufacturing phosphoric acid from Jordanian phosphate ore through the PJA Company, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The two sides underlined the "deep-rooted" Jordanian-Indonesian relations, built on the foundations laid by the leaderships of the two countries, and their mutual commitment to further developing them, especially in joint investment fields. Thneibat stressed that enhancing cooperation and exchanging investment opportunities in the phosphate fertiliser sector would "significantly strengthen" the already "distinguished" relations between Jordan and Indonesia and reinforce their presence in the global phosphate market. He stressed that such collaboration would contribute to increasing the added value of Jordanian phosphate. Thneibat extended an invitation to the Indonesian minister to visit the Kingdom to learn more about the operations of the JPMC and to explore new joint investment opportunities, with production intended to meet the growing needs of the Indonesian market. Thohir expressed pride in the "strong and cooperative" relations between Indonesia and Jordan, highlighting the importance of building further on these ties, particularly in the phosphate fertiliser sector. He accepted the invitation to visit the company in September as part of efforts to exchange expertise and boost the "successful" partnership between the two countries. Indonesia is a major consumer of Jordanian phosphate, with more than 800,000 tonnes of raw phosphate supplied annually to joint factories, in addition to quantities benefiting other consumers. The JPMC's total exports to the Indonesian market in 2024 amounted to some 1.4 million tonnes, Petra reported. © Copyright The Jordan Times. All rights reserved. Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (
