Ship chandlers & ship supply at Al Fujayrah AEFJR

The Port of Fujairah is the only multi-purpose port on the UAE’s eastern seaboard, on the Gulf of Oman about 70 nautical miles from the Strait of Hormuz — reachable without transiting the strait.^[1]

—The Fujairah Oil Tanker Terminal offers nine main berths (usable as fourteen wing berths) for tankers up to 200,000 dwt, plus four dedicated bunker-barge berths loading MGO and (V)LSFO; a VLCC jetty in operation since 2016 takes tankers up to 330,000 dwt at 26 m.^[1,2]

—The Fujairah Oil Industry Zone flanking the port hosts 18 oil terminals with 366 storage tanks totalling about 70 million barrels — described as the Middle East’s largest commercial storage for refined products — and ADNOC’s 360 km Abu Dhabi–Fujairah pipeline delivers crude to the port, bypassing Hormuz.^[5,2]

—For years Fujairah ranked as the world’s third-largest bunkering hub after Singapore and Rotterdam; volumes are published monthly by the port’s FEDCom with S&P Global. Volumes swing with the region — 2026 saw a sharp downturn amid regional tensions (Argus, May 2026).^[6,7]

—Beyond oil, the port handles dry bulk, containers and general cargo.^[1]

The Fujairah Anchorage Area offers up to 174 anchor positions; close to 12,500 vessels called the anchorage in 2023, served by over 107 utility boats. Bunkers are stored ashore and delivered to ships lying in the FAA by dedicated barges.^[3,2]

—Anchoring is only in designated areas and needs permission from the Port Control Tower first; maximum speed inside the FAA is 6 knots (Notice to Mariners 346, effective February 2024).^[4]

—The designated areas split by purpose — awaiting orders; bunkers, lube oil and de-sloping; other marine services; gas and chemical tankers needing services; STS work; very large vessels; awaiting berth — so where you anchor depends on what you intend to take.^[4]

—Any vessel using the anchorage must have a local agency based in Fujairah — the rule that makes an agent the first arrangement of every OPL call.^[4]

—A local agent (mandatory for anchorage use) and Port Control permission before anchoring or immobilising.^[4]

—Bunkers and lube oil in the designated areas, delivered by barge; nomination runs through your agent.^[4,2]

—Services the port lists as available at anchorage: bunkers, lube oil, de-sloping and de-sludging, garbage disposal, diving and hull cleaning, medical services, and agency and crew support via utility boats.^[3]

—Crew changes: Fujairah was named one of eight prime global crew-change hubs by a 2020 coalition of owners and managers covering 1,500+ vessels.^[8]

—Provisions, stores and fresh water by supply boat: post a requirement and chandlers serving Fujairah answer with sealed bids — suppliers never see the vessel’s name until award. If you run supply boats here, be the first supplier in.
