UN/LOCODE AEFJR · United Arab Emirates
Al Fujayrah is the UAE's principal east-coast bunkering + tanker anchorage — the world's second-largest bunker port after Singapore by volume. Most crew activity is offshore anchorage or tanker berths; shore leave is possible but the town is small and paperwork is stricter than at Jebel Ali. Standard UAE seaman's book procedure. Mission to Seafarers operates a modest centre in Fujairah town.
Fujairah anchorage is offshore; crews come ashore by launch. From the port gate to Fujairah town is a 10-15 minute drive by taxi. Dubai is 90-120 minutes by road via Sharjah, useful for medical evacuation or connecting flights.
ATMs: Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB in Fujairah town centre and City Centre Fujairah mallMoney changers: Al Ansari Exchange, UAE Exchange in the town centreHospital: Fujairah Hospital (public), Iranian Hospital FujairahPrayer rooms: default UAE Muslim-majority environment; every establishment has prayer time accommodationHalal food: defaultSupermarket: Lulu Hypermarket, ChoitramsSIM card: Etisalat or du at any mall or airport arrival
Do: budget extra time — launch service to shore has fixed windows and monsoon-season swell can delay boat runs. Don't: attempt to enter Oman via land border without prior visa arrangement. Watch for: Fujairah's tanker-heavy operations mean stricter port-state security than at container hubs; smoke areas are strictly enforced. The welfare centre coordinates transport but is not open 24/7 — call ahead.
