Middle East Crude-Oman, Dubai jump to record highs; Murban falls

SINGAPORE, March 16 (Reuters) - Middle East crude benchmarks Oman and Dubai jumped to record highs on Monday amid supply disruptions from the Middle East war, while Murban fell for a second trading session.

Oil prices rose on Monday as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continued to disrupt oil production and shipping in the Middle East, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's call for global efforts to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz. O/R

Oil loading operations have been suspended at the United Arab Emirates port of Fujairah, two sources told Reuters on Monday, after a drone attack sparked a fire in the emirate's petroleum industrial zone.

Fujairah, located on the Gulf of Oman just outside the Strait of Hormuz, is typically a critical exit point for about 1 million barrels per day of the UAE's Murban crude - a volume equivalent to roughly 1% of global demand.

Civil defense teams are currently working to control the blaze, the Fujairah government media office said in a statement, adding that no casualties have been reported.

The suspension marks the second major disruption at the vital bunkering hub in recent days. Operations at Fujairah had resumed on Sunday following a separate drone strike over the weekend.

The attacks come as the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran strangles shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that normally handles a fifth of the world's oil supply.

Cash Dubai's premium to swaps rose $5.31 to $56.01 a barrel.

Shell will deliver a May-loading Murban crude cargo to TotalEnergies following the deals.

NEWS

Dubai's international airport was gradually resuming flights on Monday after a fuel tank fire caused by a drone attack forced a temporary suspension, spotlighting the challenge for regional carriers grappling with the Middle East crisis.

U.S. President Donald Trump's demands for a coalition to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz appeared to fall on deaf ears on Monday as allies Japan and Australia said they were not planning to send navy vessels to the Middle East to escort ships through the vital waterway.

China's crude oil throughput in January and February rose 1.9% compared to the same period last year, official data showed on Monday, supported by higher refinery operating rates.

Marine fuel sales in Singapore softened in February after two months of strong seasonal volumes, according to the latest data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore $(MPA)$, while trade sources said demand has strengthened in the first half of March.
