Story details
Fujairah hosted the 14th Energy Markets Forum, EMFWEEK26, on 6–7 October, with the closing day reported by WAM on 7 October. The event took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in the emirate, with Fujairah Ports Authority playing a leading role in organising and supporting it.
The two-day programme held 34 sessions under the theme of strengthening resilience and opening opportunities. Discussions considered how East-of-Suez midstream businesses could adapt as markets shift from reliance on spot-supply efficiency toward preparedness for disruption. The agenda also covered the Strait of Hormuz, changes in global oil and gas flows, the Gulf economic outlook for 2027, energy security, trade corridors and inventories.
The subjects reflect Fujairah’s position outside the Strait of Hormuz and its connection to regional energy trade, as described in the report. Inventory buffers and alternative logistics can matter when shipping routes or supply timing change, but the WAM account reported discussion topics rather than signed projects, new routes or stock decisions. It supplied no forum-specific investment totals or quantified market forecasts.
