The Market

Why Fujairah ship chandlers need faster quoting

Fujairah sits on the Gulf of Oman just outside the Strait of Hormuz and is one of the world's largest bunkering hubs, regularly ranked among the top three globally alongside Singapore and Rotterdam. Hundreds of vessels wait at the Fujairah anchorage for bunkers, stores and spares, and chandlers compete on how fast they turn an RFQ around. Respond first and you win the order — Tidal makes that chandler you.

Common questions from Fujairah ship chandlers

How does Tidal help chandlers serving the Fujairah anchorage?
Vessels bunkering and provisioning at the Fujairah anchorage send RFQs for stores, spares and provisions that can run to hundreds of line items.
