What specific alternative export routes and methods is Fertiglobe using to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz?

Fertiglobe is trucking shipments from Abu Dhabi to UAE ports outside the Strait of Hormuz and is exploring rail transport in partnership with Etihad Rail; it has also expanded storage capacity across multiple locations to avoid disruptions and maintain production continuity despite logistical constraints.

How did the Strait of Hormuz disruption impact Fertiglobe’s second-quarter export volumes and financial performance?

Despite the Strait’s closure—halting about a third of global seaborne fertilizer trade—Fertiglobe exported volumes equivalent to 56% of its second-quarter UAE production, sustained operations without unscheduled shutdowns, and reported a surge in second-quarter earnings driven by higher fertilizer prices that offset increased logistics costs.
