The UAE has reopened the Jebel Ali export terminal after it halted operations on Sunday morning due to bad weather conditions, a shipping source told Reuters. “The Jebel Ali ports has now reopened and is operating normally, but the weather is still bad which might lead to another closure,” the source said.

However, the Jebel Dhanna port in Abu Dhabi, which was closed on Friday night because of poor visibility caused by the storm, has still not resumed work.   “The port is still closed, still there is a sand storm, and high sea swells,” a source told Reuters.
