UAE Considers Third Pipeline to Bypass Hormuz The United Arab Emirates is considering building a third oil transportation route to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic corridor for global energy trade. According to Anatolia Agency, which shared information from Bloomberg, the project will connect the western coast of the country to the port of Fujairah, in the Gulf of Oman, and allow exports without crossing the strait. The state oil company ADNOC, however, classified the news as speculative and denied that the plans had been approved. The country already operates an oil pipeline with a capacity of about 2 million barrels per day and is building a second structure, planned to go into operation in 2027, which should double the flow capacity through Fujairah. The strategy also includes investments in ports, railways and highways on the East Coast.
