Truck tractor clearances at Zarqa Free Zone drop by 52% in H1 2025

AMMAN — The Jordan Free Zones Investors Commission (JFZIC) on Monday said that 1,920 truck tractors were cleared in 2024, marking an 11 per cent increase over 2023, which saw 1,738 clearances. The commission noted that clearances in 2023 registered a 'significant' jump compared with 2022, when only 143 truck tractors were cleared. In 2021, the number stood at around 408, reflecting 'steady' growth in the sector over previous years, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. This growth was a direct result of a Cabinet decision allowing the import of truck tractors no older than eight years prior to the year of clearance, according to the JFZIC. The decision provided a 'significant' boost to the shipping sector and contributed to modernising the operating fleet within the Kingdom. The decision was supported by a technical study prepared by the JFZIC, which recommended allowing the import of truck tractors up to seven years old, aiming to enhance the operational efficiency of the shipping sector and boost competitiveness in local and regional markets. The JFZIC stressed the importance of monitoring the sector's performance in the second half of 2025 and studying the reasons for the recent decline, despite previous incentives and supportive decisions. The commission said that the transport and shipping sector consistently requires stimulating measures and flexible policies that consider market changes and encourage renewal and investment. The commission called on the government to take further necessary measures to ensure the sector's stimulation in the coming period.
