Rhenus activates alternative Europe–Middle East land corridor to ensure reliable supply chains amid regional disruption
• New Jordan corridor enables stable transport flows between Europe, Türkiye and key GCC markets
• Over 190,000 kg moved in one month as demand rises for resilient routing alternatives
• Multimodal shipment from France to UAE for the worldwide Oil & Gas supply provider FTE, completed in 18 days highlights corridor performance
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.
The solution connects Türkiye 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.
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.
The setup is supported by close coordination between Rhenus teams in Germany, Italy, Türkiye and United Arab Emirates, ensuring seamless execution across borders and consistent service delivery despite complex conditions. (....)
