Our two governments also share many similar concerns on a host of other international issues. Exports in both directions have increased almost every year since the UAE, a federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Gulf, was founded in 1971. The prosperity of UAE citizens is based in great part on the country’s vast oil and gas reserves, most of which lie in the largest emirate and seat of the capital, Abu Dhabi. The UAE has nearly ten percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and five percent of proven gas reserves. Other emirates include Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman, and Umm al Quwain.

  • The Port of Fujairah Ensures Safe Navigation • XA AN117
    Application Note The Port Of Fujairah ensures safe navigation • XA AN117 The Port Of Fujairah ensures safe navigation Port of Fujairah, also called Fujairah Port, is a deep port located in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. It is the largest port on the eastern seaboard of the United Arab Emirates and the world’s second-largest bunkering hub. Saab has completed a contract to implement a Vessel Traffic Management Information System (VTMIS) for the Port of Fujairah, along with a five-year maintenance agreement. Dubai-based Elcome International LLC was the subcontractor responsible for local support of installation, training and maintenance. The VTMIS allows the Port Control Centre to actively monitor and organize the vessel traffic in the port and make ship movements safe and more efficient. The layout of the port with large anchorage areas in front of it poses a challenging environment. The diverse activities, such as cargo operations, bunkering, storing, crew changes and repairs, can have conflicting traffic patterns. Elcome International LLC awarded an order to Xylem Analytics Regional Integration Center (RIC) in UAE for supply and installation of the MOTUS (movement in Latin) Wave Buoy and a landbased Tide- Met Station. “The Aanderaa MOTUS Wave Buoy is essential for measuring the weather parameters, waves and MOTUS Wave Buoy on East Shores of Fujairah. currents in the area” The solution is offered by Xylem Analytics Regional Integration Center (RIC) UAE. The core of the system was the MOTUS wave sensor which is optimized for the DB1750 data buoy and the Doppler Current Profiler Sensor (DCPS), Gill Instruments GMX 500 compact weather station.

  • An Easy Target? Types of Attack on Oil Tankers by State Actors
    https://securityandefence.pl/ An easy target? Types of attack on oil tankers by state actors Maciej Hacaga [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7851-5616 Faculty of National Security War Studies University, Poland Abstract There was a huge reaction to the attacks that took place in the Gulf of Oman in May and June 2019 but, in fact, attacks on oil tankers are a century old problem. Oil tankers appear to be easy targets because of their size and cargo. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the effectiveness of different types of attack on oil tankers that have been undertaken since widespread use of oil began. A comparative case-study approach was adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of attack on oil tankers over the long-term, namely the last century. It briefly reviews the destructiveness of three anti-tanker campaigns during the two World Wars. They are subsequently compared with two post-1945 sets of attacks in the Persian Gulf region – the Tanker War of the 1980s and the 2019 attacks. The scale of damages inflicted by attacks on oil tankers is varied. The experience of both World Wars shows their effectiveness. However, post-1945 events do not provide confirmatory evidence. The main difference is the scale of hostile activities. It is not the characteristics of tankers that make them easy targets but political conditions (war/peace state of international system) that enable the application of weapons and tactics that bring about a different scale of destruction. Keywords: oil, energy security, maritime campaigns Article info Received: 9 July 2019 Revised: 22 October 2019 Accepted: 11 February 2020 Available online: 16 March 2020 DOI: http://doi.org/10.35467/sdq/118147 © 2020 M.
