Page 1 of 1 [Back to companies list]
The port lies outside the Strait of Hormuz, overlooking the Arabian Sea which is famous for its deep waters. In view of that, waters outside the port are as deep as 17 metres, an advantage which makes it possible for visiting ships to anchor as close as half nautical mile to the port. The water surrounding the port are free from natural obstructions such as coral reefs and rocks. The strategic position of the port, which is regarded as the Eastern Gate of the UAE as well as its location midway between the East and West, helped to attract many international shipping firms. The proximity of the seaport to the Fujairah International Airport was a positive factor for the rise in transhipment operations. The Port of Fujairah is one of the best seaports in the Middle East and the No. 4 in the Gulf in container handling. Port of Fujairah - United Arab Emirates
