Arab Bridge Maritime, a joint venture of the governments of Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, reported profit of more than $40 million for the first nine months of 2026, ending September 30. General Manager Adnan Al-Abadleh gave the figure at the company’s 88th general assembly, according to a Petra report published on October 2. Trucks carried during the period increased 15% from a year earlier, while passenger transport also continued to grow. Management said capital, assets, equity and revenue reached their highest levels in the company’s history, but did not provide amounts for those measures. The profit and truck-growth figures are therefore quantified disclosures; the other claimed records remain qualitative statements in the announcement.

The company said the passenger-and-cargo vessel Al Jisr had joined its fleet, with capacity for 85 trucks and 254 passengers. The fast craft Ashur can carry 312 passengers. Procedures were also completed to add another passenger-and-cargo vessel rated for 110 trucks and 253 passengers, taking the fleet to 11 marine units once the additions are counted. These are stated maximum capacities; the announcement did not specify the vessel’s first scheduled sailing or the loads carried on any individual trip. Arab Bridge’s official service overview describes its established network as regular passenger, vehicle, general-cargo and refrigerated-cargo transport between Aqaba in Jordan and Nuweiba in Egypt, alongside tourist-group transport on the Aqaba–Taba route.

Al-Abadleh said preparations had begun for a new maritime route between Safaga in Egypt and Duba in Saudi Arabia. The announcement gave no opening date, sailing frequency, fares or vessel assignment, so the service remains in preparation rather than an operating route. For 2027, the company outlined a gradual expansion beyond sea transport into infrastructure, maritime services and related activities. Planned projects include a boat-maintenance and repair facility in Sharm El-Sheikh and development and operation of the passenger terminal at Aqaba Port. Petra reported that the Aqaba terminal project is being studied with Aqaba Development Corporation; Egypt’s transport-sector announcement said the Sharm El-Sheikh project is planned with the Red Sea Ports Authority. Its current Aqaba–Nuweiba services cover passengers, vehicles and cargo, so the proposed route would add a Saudi connection if it opens. The statements describe plans, not completed investments or a signed launch contract for the new route.
