According to the director of the Coalition of Maritime Transport Companies, Ahmed Al-Mubaidain, a consortium was formed to operate on the Aqaba-Taba maritime line. Al-Mubaidain told Daily News Egypt that the consortium consists of two companies: Arab Bridge Maritime and Sindbad Shipping and Transport Company. Both companies work in the maritime transport sector. In addition, the consortium is to support any new market that could open the door for tourism between the two countries. Al-Mubaidain added that the consortium currently operates only between the two ports in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Aqaba-Royal Yacht Club-Marina Talabih) and Taba Heights Port in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
