ATEX and IECEx Mobile Phone in Fujairah Oil Terminal
The Port of Fujairah, on the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz, has an oil terminal (FOTT) with main and wing berths, bunker barge berths and a VLCC jetty. Tank farms, jetties, manifolds and bunkering areas give Zone 1 classification, and the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline brings Abu Dhabi crude. This page explains what to look for in an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone for Fujairah oil terminals, and where the IS-04Z1 stands against that list today.

Fujairah oil terminals: who works there
The southern breakwater berth is the common site for vessel repair and has a travel lift for maintenance, so ship-repair hot work can sit close to oil terminal activity.
Fujairah oil terminals: logistics and access
The port is connected to the Etihad Rail network linking Ruwais, Ghuwaifat and Fujairah, and the rail in Fujairah is used to carry bulk containers and oil.
Fujairah oil terminals: industry on the ground
The Port of Fujairah is the largest port on the UAE's eastern seaboard and is described as the world's second largest bunkering hub, so marine fuel handling is constant.
Fujairah oil terminals: background
Port construction began in 1978, container operations started in 1982, the first oil terminal opened in January 2006 and the second in June 2010.
The term · ATEX and IECEx
What “ATEX and IECEx” means for a smartphone
ATEX is the European legal framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Directive 2014/34/EU). IECEx is the international certification scheme built on the IEC 60079 standards. Buyers outside Europe often ask for both: an IECEx certificate is the technical evidence most national regimes build on, while ATEX is the legal route into the European market.
For the IS-04Z1 both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and neither certificate has been issued. The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: equipment Group II (surface industry), Category 2 (Zone 1 gas), protection concept ib (intrinsic safety), gas group IIC and temperature class T4.
In Fujairah oil terminals. Fujairah's oil terminals and bunkering operations serve international tankers, so a reviewer would want certificate numbers, markings and schedules of conditions for devices on jetties and in tank farms. A dual ATEX and IECEx route suits shipping, inspection and contractor staff who arrive from many countries. The IS-04Z1 certification is in progress.

Questions · Fujairah Oil Terminal
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Fujairah Oil Terminal today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does an ATEX and IECEx mobile phone in Fujairah Oil Terminal cost?
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
Is the IS-04Z1 ATEX and IECEx certified?
Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.
Which areas at Fujairah oil terminals would use it?
Likely candidates are oil tank farms, marine loading jetties, pump and manifold areas, bunkering operations. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
Is intrinsically safe the same as explosion proof?
Not exactly. Explosion proof is a broad everyday term; intrinsic safety is one protection concept, which limits energy so ignition cannot occur. Flameproof (Ex d) is a different concept that contains an explosion. The IS-04Z1 is intrinsically safe by design.
Do Fujairah oil terminals set their own rules for portable devices?
Usually yes. Terminal companies such as Fujairah Oil Terminal FZC run their own safety management and approvals for visitors and contractors. Ask for the terminal's current requirements for portable electronic equipment, including certification marks and any permit requirements, before shipping.
Why do Fujairah terminals need Zone 1 equipment?
Tank farms, jetties, manifolds and pump areas handling crude oil and petroleum products typically have flammable vapour hazards. The port is a major bunkering hub, so loading arms and hoses are used all day. Area classification is set by each terminal operator, so ask for the drawings.
Can a handheld be used on marine jetties at Fujairah?
Jetties are typically classified areas, so any device must suit the zone, gas group and temperature class set by the terminal operator. The IS-04Z1 target marking is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4, still in progress. Ask the terminal's HSE team what evidence it requires for a jetty.
