As ongoing regional challenges continue to disrupt traditional logistics routes between Europe and the Middle East, Rhenus has activated a reliable overland corridor via Jordan, providing customers with a stable and efficient alternative for transporting goods into the Gulf region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The solution connects T\u00fcrkiye and Europe with key destinations including Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Dammam), Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi), Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Designed to maintain supply chain continuity in an increasingly volatile environment, the corridor combines road and multimodal transport to offer greater predictability and control.<\/p>\n

Within less than one month of operations, Rhenus has already handled more than 10 full truck load (FTL) shipments, moving over 190,000 kilograms of cargo through the corridor, demonstrating both immediate demand and operational scalability.<\/p>\n

The setup is supported by close coordination between Rhenus teams in Germany, Italy, T\u00fcrkiye and United Arab Emirates, ensuring seamless execution across borders and consistent service delivery despite complex conditions.<\/p>\n

With supply chains under pressure from evolving geopolitical and operational constraints, companies are increasingly seeking flexible routing options beyond traditional sea freight and direct road connections.<\/p>\n

The Jordan corridor offered by Rhenus provides a structured and reliable transport solution, with transit times of 10\u201313 days from T\u00fcrkiye and 19\u201322 days from Europe, depending on border and operating conditions. The service supports a range of cargo types using tautliner (up to 24 tons) and reefer trucks (up to 23 tons), ensuring adaptability to different industries and shipment requirements.<\/p>\n

While the solution is primarily based on road and multimodal transport, it is embedded within Rhenus\u2019 global network, allowing customers to complement shipments with air or ocean freight services when needed.<\/p>\n

The effectiveness of the corridor is illustrated by a recent time-sensitive shipment of oilfield supply equipment for the customer FTE, worldwide equipment supplier to Oil & Gas sector, from Lyon, France to Dubai. Rhenus completed the transport in just 18 days, combining road and ferry services via Trieste (Italy) and Mersin (T\u00fcrkiye), before routing the cargo through Jordan into the UAE.<\/p>\n

A cross-stuffing operation in Jordan ensured compliance with regional transport requirements and enabled a smooth transition to a GCC-registered vehicle for final delivery. The shipment was completed well within the required timeframe, preventing disruption at the customer\u2019s production site.<\/p>\n

By combining regional expertise with an integrated logistics approach, Rhenus is enabling customers to maintain stable supply chains despite ongoing uncertainty. The activation of the Jordan corridor reflects a broader shift in logistics strategies, where resilience, flexibility and control are becoming key priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers are increasingly looking for reliable alternatives as traditional routes face growing pressure,\u201d said Habeeb Kunhipurayil, Regional Manager Air & Ocean – Middle East at Rhenus. \u201cBy establishing this corridor, we are able to offer a stable and scalable solution that keeps goods moving between Europe and the Middle East, even under challenging conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a more complex logistics environment, customers need partners who can provide stability, transparency and well-coordinated routing options,\u201d said Mert Gedik\u00e7i and Korcan Tu\u011frul Managing Directors of Rhenus T\u00fcrkiye. \u201cT\u00fcrkiye plays a key role as an operational bridge between Europe and the Middle East, and the New Jordan corridor is a practical example of how strong local expertise, cross-border coordination and a reliable partner network help maintain stable transport flows and support customers in securing their supply chains.\u201d <\/p>\n
