Some oil-loading operations have been suspended in the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah port, a major global hub for refuelling ships as well as crude and fuel exports, after a drone attack and fire on Saturday. Why does Fujairah matter globally? The Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), also known as the Habshan–Fujairah Pipeline, transports oil from Abu Dhabi’s fields to Fujairah. Why does it matter to crude and fuel markets? The Fujairah Oil Industry Zone hosts the Middle East’s largest commercial storage capacity for refined products.
