en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rhenus Logistics has established an alternative land corridor connecting Europe to the Middle East via Jordan, in response to the impact of ongoing regional conflicts on traditional freight routes. Combining road transport with multimodal transport, the route links Turkey and Europe with Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Dammam), Kuwait, the UAE (Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi), Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman, aiming to provide greater predictability and controllability.
Habeeb Kunhipurayil, Regional Air and Sea Freight Manager for Rhenus Middle East, stated that traditional routes face increasing transport pressure, and customers need reliable alternatives. This corridor offers a stable and scalable solution, ensuring smooth cargo flow under challenging conditions. Within less than a month of operation, Rhenus has handled over 10 full truckloads of cargo through this corridor, transporting more than 190 tons of goods. Rhenus teams based in Germany, Italy, Turkey, and the UAE are responsible for coordinating cross-border execution and unified service delivery.
Transit time from Turkey to Jordan is 10-13 days, and from Europe to Jordan is 19-22 days, depending on border and operational conditions. In a recent case, Rhenus transported a batch of time-sensitive oilfield supply equipment for FT E, an equipment supplier to the oil and gas industry, from Lyon, France to Dubai. Using road and ferry services via Trieste, Italy and Mersin, Turkey, the shipment was completed in 18 days, then routed through Jordan into the UAE. Mert Gedikçi and Korcan Tuğrul, Managing Directors of Rhenus Turkey, added that Turkey plays a key role as an operational bridge between Europe and the Middle East. This new corridor demonstrates how local expertise, cross-border coordination, and partner networks can help maintain stable transport flows and safeguard customer supply chains.
Earlier this month, HLPFI reported that Rhenus had begun shipping the first of 24 trains from China to Brazil.
