Petrolodex opens Hamriyah hub with storage and direct NOC fuel supply

Petrolodex has launched a licensed trading and storage hub in Sharjah’s Hamriyah Free Zone, adding terminal storage, road tanker delivery and direct supply from UAE national oil companies. The move gives industrial and regional buyers a new domestic source for refined fuels, LPG, bitumen and chemicals with shorter lead times and no standard import tariff.

Why it matters: - The Hamriyah hub gives Northern Emirates buyers a local source of refinery-grade fuels and related products. - Petrolodex says the model cuts import transit time, avoids the standard 5% import tariff and supports domestic supply chain resilience. - The facility also matters for regional trade because it combines UAE local distribution with re-export capabilities into Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.

What happened: - Petrolodex announced the operational launch of its licensed facility in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah, on Sept. 2, 2026. - The hub combines a commercial trading desk with dedicated terminal storage and direct sourcing from UAE national oil company refinery gantries. - The company says the site serves industrial end users, manufacturing plants, transport fleets, power stations and marine bunkering operators across the UAE.

The details: - The Hamriyah entity is licensed by the Hamriyah Free Zone Authority as a fully operational trading and handling base. - Physical assets include liquid storage tanks, pressurized LPG bullet tanks, and a fleet of 12,000 Imperial Gallon bottom-loading road tankers and gas carriers. - Storage uses active Vapour Recovery Units under ISO 14001, and pressurized vessels undergo automated leak monitoring and hydrostatic valve testing under ISO 45001. - For 10ppm gasoil and refined fuels, Petrolodex offers Ex-Tank (FCA Terminal) and Ex-Gate (Cleared Exit) delivery structures. - Ex-Tank buyers use their own transport and lift product directly at the terminal manifold. - Ex-Gate service covers terminal metering, gantry slots, customs documentation, port gate passes and delivery notes. - Direct supply comes from UAE national oil companies including ADNOC, ENOC and SNOC. - Every dispatch carries an official Refinery Certificate of Quality. - Available products include gasoil and MGO, gasoline grades RON 91, 95 and 98, LPG, fuel oils, bitumen, chemicals and additives. - The local distribution desk serves UAE buyers in AED per Imperial Gallon or metric tonne, with 24 to 48 hour deliveries and Federal Tax Authority TRN documentation. - The regional re-export desk handles 20ft FCL, ISO tank and bulk vessel shipments in USD per metric tonne. - Re-exports are aimed at East and West Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. - Every transaction runs through digital compliance controls in Petrolodex’s CRM and financial ledger. - Dun & Bradstreet Direct+ verifies corporate identity, D-U-N-S registration, solvency and ultimate beneficial ownership before a quote is issued. - Refinitiv World-Check screens counterparties, management and vessel IMO numbers against sanctions and risk databases. - The company says operations comply with UAE Federal Decree Law No. 10 of 2018, with suspicious activity routed through the Central Bank goAML portal. - Petrolodex also disclosed ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications completed this year by Veritas Assurance. - The company said its corporate membership in the International Chamber of Commerce UAE became effective Aug. 17, 2026.

Between the lines: - The launch positions Petrolodex as more than a trader by anchoring sales to storage, logistics and compliance infrastructure. - Direct domestic refinery allocations can reduce exposure to freight volatility and customs friction, which can matter for industrial buyers with tight delivery schedules. - The compliance stack and certifications signal an effort to win business where provenance, sanctions screening and environmental controls are part of procurement decisions. - The business model also fits the UAE’s push to strengthen in-country value in energy-related supply chains.

What's next: - Petrolodex says qualified UAE and international inquiries will be answered within one business day. - UAE buyers can request AED pricing, arrange Ex-Tank or Ex-Gate lifting, or schedule delivery through the Hamriyah desk. - International buyers, suppliers and mandates can use the export desk for pricing and re-export arrangements. - The company frames Hamriyah as the first stage of a broader regional network.
