What the cluster does
Fujairah exists commercially because it sits outside the Strait of Hormuz. That single geographic fact makes it one of the world's largest bunkering and oil storage locations, and it means a vessel can take fuel without entering the Gulf. The local industry is overwhelmingly bunkering, storage and offshore supply rather than ship management.
- Large-scale bunkering
- Oil storage and blending
- Anchorage services and OPL supply
- Position outside the Strait of Hormuz
