Sheikh Hamad said that the 360km pipeline, which will have an initial capacity of 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) going up to 1.5 million bpd, will transfer most of the UAE’s oil from fields in the capital on the Gulf to Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz
On the other hand, he added that Fujairah, which is the world’s third largest center for ship bunkering after Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and Singapore, plans to benefit from its location and become an export hub for oil and gas.
