Oil bunkering became the predominant industry in Fujairah after 2012, when the completion of the Habshan-Fujairah oil pipeline allowed Abu Dhabi emirate to deliver a large portion of its oil exports through Fujairah. Fujairah’s location on the Gulf of Oman makes it strategically suited to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, a geopolitically volatile channel, and the pipeline allows the United Arab Emirates to export roughly half of its oil without going through the strait.
