Estimate. FOIZ does not publish a full price list. This figure is our own estimate rather than a rate confirmed by the authority: treat it as an order of magnitude and ask us for a firm quotation.
Our view
FOIZ is a dedicated oil storage and petroleum services zone supporting Fujairah's position as a global bunkering hub. It is a capital-project jurisdiction: tank farms, terminals and petroleum trading operations, not licence packages.
