bunkering event, draws participants from other bunkering centers

first hand, opportunities in the fast growing UAE markets, which
account for 61% of bunker volumes in the region and developments
that affect the markets both locally and internationally.

the auspices of the Government of Fujairah, with the Patronage of
His Highness, Sheikh Hamad bin Mohamed Al Sharqi, Member of the
UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Fujairah, and the support of the
International Bunker Industry Association and the UAE National Ship
Suppliers Association.
Being held alongside the conference are several specialised courses
on “Fuel Oil Blending” and “Port State Control”,
which have drawn port authorities and technical specialists from
the region including Oman, Saqr, Egypt, Fujairah, Kuwait and Djibouti.
Being hosted by the Government of Fujairah for the third time as
part of a successful on-going series of events, Dr Mohammed Saeed
Al Kindi, Director of Ruler’s Office, Emiri Court Fujairah
said “It gives me great pleasure to host such a big event
which has been very successful for the last two years. This conference
has enabled the Fujairah Emirate as a whole and the bunkering industry
in particular to play a pivotal part in the global bunkering industry.”
