Crews of ships carrying Chinese cargo denied entry into Kingdom pending inspection The Jordan Maritime Commission has prevented the crews of ships carrying Chinese goods from disembarking in the port of Aqaba, according to Director General of the Commission Mohammad Salman. All government and private companies, including navigation agents, have been instructed to inform the commission of their ship's arrival date two days before approaching regional waters in order to give the commission time to take public health and safety precautions before the ships reach the Kingdom’s docks, Salman said in a statement made available to The Jordan Times. * Source: Bloomberg, Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
