Tokyo—The UAE’s port of Fujairah eased its restrictions on tankers going to or arriving from Qatari ports a week after it imposed a blanket ban following the UAE’s ending of diplomatic ties and closing of all borders with Qatar, a market source told SP Global Platts. But the ban still applies to the port’s VLCC jetty which is operated by ADNOC. Under the latest development, Fujairah port now decides “not to receive any Qatari flag vessel or owned by Qatari companies or Qatari individuals; not load/unload any cargo of Qatari origin in any port of water of UAE; not to allow ships to load any cargo of UAE origin to State of Qatar,” according to a circular obtained by SP Global Platts.
