UAE plans Fujairah oil hub to bypass Strait of Hormuz
TL;DR
The United Arab Emirates aims to build a new port and oil-export hub in Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, led by DP World, to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and reduce dependence on Dubai’s Jebel Ali. The plan includes upgrading Fujairah and other Gulf of Oman ports (Dibba, Khor Fakkan) and reflects steps to mitigate transit disruption from regional tensions, while tying into broader corridor projects like IMEC and potential redirection routes to the Mediterranean, all within a complex geopolitical environment involving Israel and Saudi Arabia.
