Bunker loading and delivery operations have been restarted in the Port of Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates, the main fuel storage and refueling center in the Middle East, which had been suspended on October 2 before Tropical Storm Shaheen.
Some barges resumed bunker fuel deliveries to ships in the early afternoon, although the sea remained rough. The terminal was not completely closed as Shaheen bypassed Fujairah and made landfall in Oman. It is now moving inland through Saudi Arabia, according to weather reports.
