Affected by the continued blockage of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE state-owned aluminum producers will export up to 250,000 tons of aluminum from the east coast of the country every year. According to the new agreement reached between UAE Global Aluminum and logistics company Gulf Terminal Company, the port facilities will be expanded to handle additional export volume, and the export volume is expected to exceed 300,000 tons after the first year. Gulf Marina operates the port of Khor Fakkan in the Gulf of Oman, which is located outside the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement shows that smelters in the Gulf region are making structural adjustments to the supply chain after months of temporary measures to mitigate the impact of disruptions in shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Once flights are cut off in the Strait of Hormuz, it will threaten aluminum supply to buyers in Asia, Europe, and the US. Smelters have increased their export efforts through alternative ports in Oman and Saudi Arabia.
