The minister said, the Egyptian side is keen on providing all forms of support for this new line by facilitating procedures, encouraging companies and various parties to use the line in both directions, especially due to its importance in transporting Gulf, Iraqi and Jordanian trade goods to European and American countries, passing through Egypt. For his part, General Manager of the Arab Bridge Maritime Company in Jordan, Adnan al-Abadla reviewed measures taken by the co mpany to render the transport line a success. The operation of the line came based on coordination between Egyptian, Jordanian and Iraqi ministries of transport, through the strategic partnership with the Arab Bridge Shipping Company.
