Ruwais, Abu Dhabi

ADNOC's refining hub and a major product exporter. We arrange product freight, voyage planning and inspection for diesel, jet fuel and naphtha from Ruwais.

Large refinery with product tankers at jetties on a flat desert coast

Ruwais is one of the largest refining sites in the world. ADNOC Refining runs Ruwais East at 922,000 barrels a day and Ruwais West at 417,000, integrated with the Borouge petrochemical complex. The site exports diesel, jet fuel and naphtha, including diesel cargoes to Europe.

The refinery was hit by a drone in March 2026 and was back at full capacity by about August, although product exports were still below pre-war levels in September. We fix product tankers, plan voyages around Gulf conditions and appoint inspectors at loading.
