Source basis

ADC's official organization page identifies the corporation as the central development arm of ASEZA, launched in 2004 and owned by the Government of Jordan and ASEZA. It states that ADC owns Aqaba's ports, airport, and strategic land and holds development and management rights for these assets, infrastructure, and utilities. The PPP page documents ADC's use of BOT and joint-venture structures and its relationships with entities including Aqaba Container Terminal, Aqaba Port Marine Services, and Aqaba Company for Ports Operation and Management. The infrastructure page defines enabling works across roads, water, wastewater, electricity, land preparation, and logistics facilities. The Phosphate Terminal record shows ADC using a BOT structure for a 250 m, 21 m-deep marine terminal, while Tender 27/A/2026 shows its current concession-procurement role for the Cement Terminal and Mut'ah floating berth. The profile separates ADC's asset-owner and development functions from ASEZA's regulatory role, ACPOM and other operators' operating roles, concessionaires' commercial obligations, and contractors' delivery scopes.
