UAE oil exports back to pre-war levels via Fujairah
The UAE exports as much oil as before the Iran war, using the port of Fujairah to bypass Hormuz. Tanker rates surged, and Adnoc L&S expects $4 billion full-year profit. Aluminium maker EGA reported lower nine-month profit and revenue because the war disrupted sales.
Why it matters
Alternative routes cut the risk to oil supply.
Background
Hormuz is the narrow sea route out of the Gulf.
