A large construction project is underway to expand the facility so it can receive more ships.
The anchorage point is about a 20 or 30 minute boat ride out to sea. This is where ships are able to rest and resupply.tanker seized by Iranian forces a week ago last Friday had travelled from Fujairah into the Strait of Hormuz when it was taken.We saw a giant tanker with a Greek flag being filled up with fuel.
Other tankers were just bobbing up and down in the water, each a few hundred metres apart, stretching out into the horizon. There are about 113 tankers and other large ships from different countries around the world at the anchorage point at the moment.They come here to drop anchor for a few hours or a few days depending upon their schedule.
Apparently the volume of traffic has not been affected by the rise in tensions in the region over the past three months.
