In the port of Fujihra in the United arabian Emirates oil loading was again halted," Reuters reported today, citing 2 sources. The port allows you to bypass the blockade of the Ormuz Strait, resulting in the price of natural material rising rapidly in fresh days.
The reason for the decision to suspend the oil loading operation was the outbreak of a fire in the Fujira Emirati industrial region following the drone attack. According to information from local authorities quoted by Reuters, the competent services are working to control the fire. It is known that the incidental did not affect human casualties.
This is the second specified incidental in 3 days apart, which consequently severely restricts the anticipation of avoiding the Iranian blockade of Ormuzu. Fujihra lies on the Gulf of Oman, east of the Strait.
For the first time oil loading was halted in Fujiara on Saturday, besides as a consequence of a drone attack. On Sunday, all operations resumed. According to the global Energy Agency, an average of 2.4 million barrels per day were loaded in the local port on 9 March.
