Similar to other ADNOC Distribution service stations that are equipped with the smart technologies, the new service station caters to the needs of fishermen, boat owners and motorists. It includes three islands, two of which are maritime and one that is on land. Through four pumps, the station offers a number of fuel choices such as E-Plus 91, Special 95 and Green Diesel. The station features marine pumps supported by high levels of safety and high efficiency where the fuelling process can gust up to 45 gallons per minute. Commenting on the opening of the new service station, Eng. Saeed Mubarak Al Rashdi, Acting CEO of ADNOC Distribution said: "At ADNOC Distribution, we consider the directives and initiatives of our wise leadership to be a top priority. We work on implementing these initiatives through our commitment to raising the quality of our services and to geographically expand across the UAE to reach all segments of the community. We are also devoted to contribute to the development of UAE’s infrastructure.” Al Rashdi added: "The opening of Umm Al Quwain Marine service station reflects ADNOC Distribution’s growth strategy as well as its vision to keep up with the economic and urban growth that is sweeping the UAE. The expansion will also help us meet the demand for ADNOC Distribution’s services and products as we aim to raise the number of service stations to more than 450 by 2017.” ADNOC Distribution has ensured the employment of different capabilities and expertise to provide the Umm Al Quwain Marine service station with all the facilities needed to serve customers, from boat owners to motorists. The station offers a range of petroleum products and services that are accessible 24-hours a day. It is also hosts an ADNOC Oasis store. The Umm Al Quwain Marine service station is the newest addition to ADNOC Distribution’s network of service stations in the UAE. This station is dedicated to providing fuel to fishermen and boat owners, and is equipped with flood spot lights to provide the best service during night shifts. The station also features a fire-resistant design and incorporates special equipment to fight any fire ignitions such as fire extinguishers. The station was also provided with floating sea barriers and corridors for safety as required by the health, environment and safety certified professional standards. ADNOC Distribution is keen to provide the station with a shaded break room to enable fishermen and boat owners to rest while supplying their boats with the required fuel and services. Following the opening of Kaber service station in Umm Al Quwain in early May, ADNOC Distribution is currently working on the completion of Al Haditha service station in Al Hamra area and the Al Mahthab service station in Al Mahthab area. The construction of the stations come as a result of ADNOC Distribution’s studies to identify citizen needs and growing demand for its services in a time of the UAE’s unprecedented economic and urban development.
