Dubai’s commercial port of Jebel Ali and terminals in Fujairah on the eastern coast of the United Arab Emirates operated normally today amid recent threats by Iran to block shipments through the nearby Strait of Hormuz.
“If the Hormuz Strait was shut, it will affect business,” Jim Williams, Middle East and North Africa Engineering Manager at Aesseal, which makes pump seals for the oil and gas industry, said in an interview in Jebel Ali today. “There will always be alternative routes, even if at more cost.”
