Shailen ShuklaGUEST
So, people tend to conglomerate.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
So, all the traffic of the Gulf, especially in GCC countries, was all focused on Jabal Ali.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
So, there was no plan B.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
So, the vessels were not calling.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
Okay.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
So, there's a huge scope.
Shailen ShuklaGUEST
I mean, Oman, if this situation continues and my reading is that this will continue, could become the next Jabal Ali, the next Damaam, you know.
Dharmendra MehtaHOST
Right.
Mario VolpiGUEST
There are some very nice projects coming up.
Mario VolpiGUEST
Nikhil is coming up with one called Palm Springs, for example, at the foot of Jebel Ali or the sort of Jebel Ali area, which obviously is very strategic because you're on the border of Dubai and Abu Dhabi there.
Mario VolpiGUEST
You're not a million miles away from Al Maktoum airport.
Mario VolpiGUEST
And a lot of the focus is shifting towards that area.
Ami DanielGUEST
So the world is missing about 20% of the world's fertilizer as well.
Ami DanielGUEST
Jabal Ali, which is the UAE container port, used to be one out of six or seven shipments used to be transshipped in Jabal Ali.
Ami DanielGUEST
It's like zero right now.
Michael EisenbergHOST
Explain that, expand that one.
Ami DanielGUEST
Yeah, sorry.
Ami DanielGUEST
When you ship containers, like let's say you want to relocate and you want to ship your container from, you want to buy a new cupboard from China and you live in the U.S. Not always it will be shipped directly from China to your house in the U.S. Oftentimes, it will be trans-shipped, i.e. moved between two ships somewhere in a hub.
Ami DanielGUEST
The big hubs are Rotterdam, Jabal Ali in the UAE and Singapore.
Ami DanielGUEST
That's like the top three hubs in the world where people think things got trans-shipped, moved between different ships.
Priti MalikHOST
We have an accident on E44.
Priti MalikHOST
This is at Nadal Hummer Street, which is causing about a 15-minute delay going Jabal Ali bound.
Priti MalikHOST
Just saw a crash on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road by International City 2, also going Jabal Ali bound.
Priti MalikHOST
Out of Sharjah, you got your usual stuff going on.
Priti MalikHOST
E88 has a 30-minute delay, about a 40-minute delay on Etihad Road, then Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road as well.
Richard FlintGUEST
So we have that really good balance of bringing the best of M&S in and also sourcing locally.
Brandy ScottHOST
So does that mean that there will be factories out in, I don't know, DIP and Jebel Ali that are making Marks and Spencer's curries?
Richard FlintGUEST
We have factories that will be doing that for us.
Richard FlintGUEST
Yes, we do.
Nidhi MahajanGUEST
The reason why Dubai or Sharjah become really central transshipment hubs It's precisely because they have these, they've had these free trade zones historically, right, since the early 20th century.
Nidhi MahajanGUEST
But at the same time, you know, ports like Jabal Ali and so on have become a kind of model for thinking about free trade zones because They allow for this quick transshipment.
Nidhi MahajanGUEST
And so what these sailors are doing is capitalizing on the difference in national borders, on differences in government policies to move cargo.
Nidhi MahajanGUEST
So they know, for instance, that diesel in Iran was cheaper than diesel elsewhere because of sanctions.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
So Bahrain hosted under a longstanding defense relationship.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
There's also port access arrangements at Jebel Ali in the UAE and smaller support facilities.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
Further afield, but still very relevant to the broader theaters, is Camp Lamonier.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
And Dabuchi, I talked about Dabuchi a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about how Dabuchi is very close to the Horn of Africa.
Elizabeth KayserHOST

Further afield, but still very relevant to the broader theaters, is Camp Lamonier in Dibuchi.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
I talked about Dibuchi a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about how Dibuchi is very close to the Horn of Africa, and there's been a lot of prices in Dibuchi.
Ross VintcentHOST
year six had come around quite quickly.
Ross VintcentHOST
And I'd just moved from King's to Jebel Ali.
Ross VintcentHOST
And my mom had discovered that all the energy that I'd used on sport had not gone into the classroom.
Ross VintcentHOST
I think it's quite common.
Ross VintcentHOST
And I couldn't, I didn't know what the fuck these people were talking about.
Ross VintcentHOST
So she had to tutor me along with one of her friends.
Ross VintcentHOST
And she helped tutor me towards the Jebel Ali exam.
Ross VintcentHOST
And that was, I think I got into that quite comfortably.
ShirvanHOST
Containers arrive, are processed, and leave again with minimal delay.
ShirvanHOST
That efficiency is what attracts companies, and it's what enabled the nearby Jebel Ali port to rank among the 10 busiest container ports globally, handling tens of millions of containers each year.
ShirvanHOST
Then there is the financial layer.
ShirvanHOST
Dubai offers a business environment where capital can move freely with relatively low taxes and fewer restrictions than many other competing hubs.
