Berths
The oil terminal can operate 9 main berths or 14 wing berths for vessels up to 200,000 dwt, plus 4 bunker barge berths and a VLCC jetty for vessels up to 330,000 dwt.
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. If you are specifying an industrial mobile phone for Fujairah oil terminals, this page covers the markings, the approvals and the current certification status of the IS-04Z1.
Pre-launch · certification in progress · Launching Q4 2026
Short answer. The SAMS IS-04Z1 is the intrinsically safe smartphone covered here for Fujairah oil terminals: pre-launch, designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 (marking target Ex ib IIC T4), with certification in progress and no certificate issued.
Current position: certification in progress, nothing issued, launch targeted for Q4 2026. A buyer's engineering review is separate from the certificate. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.
| Check | What to look for | IS-04Z1 today |
|---|---|---|

An intrinsically safe Android smartphone designed for Zone 1 and Zone 21 hazardous areas in Fujairah Oil Terminal. It is pre-launch: IECEx, ATEX and NEC 500 certification is in progress ahead of the Q4 2026 launch.
A short profile of the site and the kinds of classified area that matter for portable equipment.
The oil terminal can operate 9 main berths or 14 wing berths for vessels up to 200,000 dwt, plus 4 bunker barge berths and a VLCC jetty for vessels up to 330,000 dwt.
The Habshan-Fujairah oil pipeline has carried Abu Dhabi crude to the Gulf of Oman coast since July 2012.
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.
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.
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.
Port construction began in 1978, container operations started in 1982, the first oil terminal opened in January 2006 and the second in June 2010.
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Fujairah oil terminals. Terminal operators run their own contractor and equipment approvals, and the Fujairah Ports Authority and the oil industry zone are separate bodies. A phone would typically be enrolled in an employer's EMM or MDM. The IS-04Z1 is designed for that; charging should be in safe areas.
A short checklist for anyone writing or reviewing the specification, with the IS-04Z1 status against each point.
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
There is no list price yet. SAMS gives indicative pre-launch pricing in writing, against a stated quantity and site, and does not commit to a lead time before certification completes.
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
