Marine bunk<\/strong>er fuel sales at Fujairah port dipped 5% y-o-y to 3.7 mn cubic <\/strong>meters in 1H 2025<\/strong>,<\/strong> Reuters<\/a> reports, citing data from the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ). The dip in sales can be attributed to vessels operating with more caution<\/a> in the Gulf last month amid tensions between Iran and Israel \u2014 which also saw Iran threaten to close<\/a> the Strait of Hormuz. Several ships opted to minimize the duration spent in the region following warnings of a potential closure of the strait.<\/p>\n

Sales in June hit a four-month low to 563k cbm<\/strong> \u2014 easing 8% m-o-m \u2014 as tensions reached their peak. Bunker price differentials to benchmark quotes remained muted for both high-sulfur and low-sulfur bunker grades in 2025, sources told the newswire, indicating weak underlying demand and ample supply in the market. <\/p>\n

Traders clocked it early:<\/strong> Several traders expected fuel sales to dampen as demand for refueling was lukewarm for the majority of 2025, even prior to the recent escalation of geopolitical tensions, Dubai-based trading sources told the newswire. <\/p>\n

The port\u2019s fuel sales are on a downward trajectory<\/strong>: Marine fuel sales volume slumped to a record low of 554k cbm<\/a> in February amid an uncertain outlook facing the shipping industry. The slowdown in Fujairah is a \u201creflection of the broader uncertainty in global trade\u2026as shipping firms are optimizing their operations more cautiously to navigate volatile conditions,\u201d Container xChange CEO Christian Roeloffs told Reuters<\/a> back in March. <\/p>\n

Why is Fujairah important?<\/strong> Fujairah \u2014 a major regional bunkering port \u2014 is a key refuelling point for commercial vessels transporting crude out of the Gulf. The port is poised to see methanol and LNG<\/a> dominating its alternative bunker fuels. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
