Gulf states and companies pursue pipeline and port projects to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil and gas exporters in the Gulf are accelerating infrastructure projects to route exports around the Strait of Hormuz as conflict between the US and Iran disrupts shipping through the waterway. The UAE plans a new port at Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, while Chevron is exploring a pipeline that would avoid the strait. Existing pipelines can reroute only about 8.8 million barrels per day, well below the roughly 20 million barrels that transited Hormuz before the war.
