  • This study objectivs to achieve several objectives that contribute to understanding the relationship be-tween strategic management and maritime transport efficiency in the Jordanian port of Aqaba. Thus,the study seeks to understand the nature of the relationship between strategic management and maritimetransport efficiency. And to understand the nature of the impact of the strategic management applied bythe Jordanian port of Aqaba on the level of maritime transport efficiency in the port in terms of the infor-mation system, the number of ships and containers, the movement of goods, and the waiting time in theport. The literature related to strategic management and maritime transport efficiency will be reviewedto determine the relationship between them for the port. A descriptive analytical research approach wasadopted for the benefit of the current study. The study was conducted in the Jordanian port of Aqaba, bysurveying the opinions of a sample of port pioneers and workers, about the extent of applying strategicmanagement in the port and the extent of its efficiency in Jordanian maritime transport operations. Theresults revealed the following:- Strategic management affects the efficiency of maritime transport in the Jordanian port of Aqaba,as it was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between strategic management andimproving the efficiency of seaports, with an averageArithmetic (2.53) and standard deviation (0.845)at a significant level (0.05*).- It is also clear that the averageThe general dimensions reached its value (2.53), the value is high on aLikert scale.In the first place came the dimension (The port uses information technology to provide various relatedservices High quality) with arithmetic average (2.80) and standard deviation (0.512), In the last ordercame the dimension (The port provides appropriate security and safety standards for all types of shipsShe hesitates to him) on averageArithmetic (2.39) and standard deviation (0.865).
