The United Arab Emirates is advancing plans to reduce its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz for crude oil exports.
The strait serves as the primary exit point for UAE oil tankers heading to Asian markets. Any disruption in the waterway would affect the country's primary revenue source.
New pipelines and terminal facilities are under consideration to route oil through alternative paths. These projects aim to connect UAE fields directly to ports outside the strait. The UAE government has not released specific timelines or budgets for the projects.
