Adnoc has said it will continue to prioritise the safety of its staff and assets, and called for safe and free navigation in international waters affected by the war in the Middle East.
The UAE oil and gas exporter also emphasised on Friday that it will remain “firmly focused on meeting customer requirements despite an exceptionally challenging environment”.
Amid its war with the US, Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war was the route for about a fifth of the world’s energy exports. The situation has been compounded by Yemen’s Tehran-supported Houthi rebels, who began attacks on Saudi-linked assets in the Red Sea.
Iranian missile and drone attacks, which Tehran describes as being aimed at US bases and troops in the region, have hit 15 Adnoc vessels – including three this week – resulting in 20 injuries and one death, the company said.
Adnoc called those actions “unprovoked attacks on our people and our assets”.
