The Port of Fujairah reopened after extreme weather conditions shuttered the port overnight, though oil operations remain disrupted with some berths still out of service.
All of the oil berths at Oil Terminal 1 were reopened but some of the berths at Oil Terminal 2 were still shut by late-afternoon Thursday, Khalil Ibrahim, deputy general manager at the port, said by phone. The United Arab Emirates port closed Wednesday evening as a precaution because of an “exceptional” weather event, he said.
