Our terminal

How We Work

Safety:
Safety is the foundation at Fujairah Oil Terminal (FOT) for all work required, both inside as well as outside the terminal boundaries. All staff are trained extensively on relevant safety topics in the tank storage business, to ensure good safety awareness, competency and skills. Monthly mock drills and safety meetings are conducted to test and evaluate our performance. Safety at FOT is anchored in solid procedures and detailed work instructions, Permit to Work system, Management of Change, Lock out-tag out and Confined Space.
Operations:
Operations at FOT will only be planned/carried out once a written work order is issued to operations via the Terminal Automation System (TAS) called Qino. The Central Control Room (CCR) is manned 24/7 by experienced professional staff to monitor all ongoing operations, and to use the SCADA system to operate the highly automated FOT terminal. Tank levels, temperatures, flowrates, line pressures are continuously monitored physically and through instrumentation like autonomous high level alarms, unauthorized movement alarms and pressure sensors.
Innovations:
Ensuring work is carried out safely and efficiently, FOT utilizes several innovative solutions. Our fully integrated Qino TAS system caters for the complete Order to Cash process and is also connecting most departments to this unique platform. By digitalizing all these processes FOT is capable to create a consistent work environment with high reliability, transparency, and traceability. Capptions is our terminal inspection software, which helps FOT to maintain a high level of control at the terminal. A digital smartboard is used for shift handover, and is updated constantly from CCR to provide “real time” insight in operations to all staff.
Operational Excellence:
By combining the highest safety standards, innovative solutions and everyone at FOT working together as a team of highly skilled and professional employees, we are able to keep our focus on providing the most excellent operations and service to our valued customers. At FOT we operate safely and do it “first time right”!
