富查伊拉石油工業(yè)園區(qū)主管Salem al- hammoudi在Conference Connection組織的“2021年富查伊拉加注和燃油網絡論壇”上表示，“我們的政策或我們的戰(zhàn)略是走在市場的前面。”

富查伊拉港業(yè)務發(fā)展經理Martijn Heijboer表示，富查伊拉港目前擁有16個石油和產品儲存終端，阿布扎比國家石油公司和其他現(xiàn)有客戶對原油基礎設施的需求預計將會回升。

Heijboer稱，“我們最早可能需要在今年做出投資決定，以擴大我們的基礎設施。”“我們需要預測未來的趨勢，以確保我們走在市場的前面。”

Fujairah mulls boosting storage capacity to 17 million cu m in four years

Fujairah, the biggest bunkering and oil product trading hub in the Middle East, is considering boosting crude and product storage capacity in the next three to four years to 17 million cu m from more than 10 million cu m currently to cater to increasing demand at its port, an official said March 23.

"Our policy or our strategy is to stay ahead of the market," Captain Salem al-Hamoudi, director of Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, told the Fujairah Bunkering and Fuel Oil virtual forum 2021 organized by Conference Connection.

Fujairah Oil Industry Zone is the authority that manages the land used for tanks and refining in the UAE emirate, which has a strategic location outside the Strait of Hormuz.

The Port of Fujairah currently has 16 oil and product storage terminals and is anticipating a pick-up in demand for crude infrastructure from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. and other existing customers, according to Martijn Heijboer, the port's business development manager.

"As early as this year we might need to make investment decisions to expand our infrastructure," Heijboer said. "We need to anticipate what is coming to make sure we stay ahead of the market."
