Adnoc offers oil deliveries outside Strait of Hormuz to reduce shipping risk

The United Arab Emirates' state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc) is offering refinery customers with long-term supply contracts the option of having oil delivered ship-to-ship outside the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Adnoc's offer, the oil should be picked up at the port of Fujairah, part of the United Arab Emirates located outside the Strait of Hormuz.

As a result of the Iran war, shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been exposed to great risks, has been shelled and has occasionally come to a complete halt for periods.

According to price lists seen by Bloomberg, Adnoc will add a premium of $0.80-$1.00 per barrel to the price of oil delivered outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Ship-to-ship deliveries at Fujairah have previously been made during the Iran war, but then on the spot market.
