Fujairah was this week termed the site of one of the world’s biggest ‘floating service stations’.
A CNN article was reporting on the diminishing number of vessels moving oil around the world. Following the 1989 tragic spillage of the Exxon Valdez, single-hulled tankers have been phased out and replaced with the very expensive double-hulled ships.
The drop in the number of ships has heightened the importance of the Aegean Marine Petroleum Network which incorporates not only ships but the strategically placed ‘floating gas stations’ of Fujairah, Greece, Gibraltar, Jamaica and Singapore.
