Port of Aqaba Upgrades to Entel ATEX HT800
Jordan’s Port of Aqaba has invested in Entel’s HT800 ATEX–certified radios, in the next stage of its show–case development and modernisation plan.
Supplied by Entel’s Jordanian dealer, Munir Sukhtain, the Aqaba Port Marine Services company (APMS) is seeking to develop Aqaba, located at the northern tip of the Red Sea, into the region’s port of choice for commercial and passenger traffic. The Entel radios will be used aboard its own fleet of state–of–the–art tugs and support vessels and were chosen by their procurement officers for their rugged dependability and submersibility.
Adopting an international "best practices" policy has been at the centre of the port’s modernisation programme, hence the decision to replace its fleet of ageing transceivers with Entel’s intrinsically safe marine radios, their ATEX certification increasingly recognised, worldwide, as unquestionably one of the most stringent intrinsically safe approvals available.
