Our plant is located in the Port of Khorfakkan, United Arab Emirates.

Tankers routinely anchor in the Fujairah/Khorfakkan route, awaiting clearance to move into the Arabian Gulf to load crude oil, often for 30 days or more. It is estimated that at any given time 85 - 100 vessels are anchored off shore of Fujairah. Fujairah is the only location in the world where the majority of transiting crude oil carriers anchor for extended period of time.
