# Fujairah and Khor Fakkan anchorage: port occupancy and satellite views Fujairah and Khor Fakkan anchorage, port in United Arab Emirates, watched from orbit: no thermal anomaly recorded since 3 Apr 2026, when this site's watch began; port occupancy 153 large vessels, week of 12 Oct to 18 Oct 2026; normal 150 (1.0x). - Kind: Port - Country: United Arab Emirates (AE) - Coordinates: 25.175, 56.46 - Canonical page: - JSON: - Times are New York (ET). ## Latest view No clear Sentinel-2 view of this site yet. ## Thermal anomalies No thermal anomaly recorded since 3 Apr 2026, when this site's watch began. A quiet site is no reading, never a statement that nothing happened. ## Port occupancy, weekly | Week | Orbit | Median large vessels | Passes | Normal | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2026-W17 | 57 | 72 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W17 | 93 | 84 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W18 | 57 | 84 | 2 | not ready | | 2026-W18 | 93 | 88 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W19 | 57 | 86 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W19 | 93 | 87 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W20 | 57 | 85 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W20 | 93 | 96 | 2 | not ready | | 2026-W21 | 57 | 96 | 2 | not ready | | 2026-W21 | 93 | 92 | 2 | not ready | | 2026-W22 | 57 | 83 | 1 | not ready | | 2026-W22 | 93 | 94 | 2 | not ready | | 2026-W23 | 57 | 101 | 2 | 84 | | 2026-W23 | 93 | 103 | 2 | 90 | | 2026-W24 | 57 | 108 | 1 | 85 | | 2026-W24 | 93 | 113 | 1 | 92 | | 2026-W25 | 57 | 109 | 2 | 86 | | 2026-W25 | 93 | 109 | 1 | 93 | | 2026-W26 | 57 | 111 | 1 | 91 | | 2026-W26 | 93 | 128 | 1 | 95 | | 2026-W27 | 57 | 112 | 1 | 98 | | 2026-W27 | 93 | 116 | 1 | 99 | | 2026-W28 | 57 | 103 | 1 | 104 | | 2026-W28 | 93 | 117 | 2 | 106 | | 2026-W29 | 57 | 109 | 1 | 106 | | 2026-W29 | 93 | 127 | 1 | 111 | | 2026-W30 | 57 | 119 | 1 | 108 | | 2026-W30 | 93 | 131 | 1 | 115 | | 2026-W31 | 57 | 122 | 2 | 109 | | 2026-W31 | 93 | 129 | 1 | 117 | | 2026-W32 | 57 | 108 | 1 | 110 | | 2026-W32 | 93 | 120 | 1 | 122 | | 2026-W33 | 57 | 116 | 1 | 110 | | 2026-W33 | 93 | 129 | 1 | 124 | | 2026-W34 | 57 | 120 | 1 | 112 | | 2026-W34 | 93 | 145 | 2 | 128 | | 2026-W35 | 57 | 129 | 1 | 114 | | 2026-W35 | 93 | 144 | 1 | 128 | | 2026-W36 | 57 | 126 | 1 | 118 | | 2026-W37 | 57 | 152 | 2 | 120 | | 2026-W37 | 93 | 163 | 1 | 129 | | 2026-W38 | 57 | 139 | 1 | 121 | | 2026-W38 | 93 | 159 | 1 | 131 | | 2026-W39 | 57 | 129 | 1 | 124 | | 2026-W39 | 93 | 137 | 1 | 144 | | 2026-W40 | 57 | 133 | 1 | 128 | | 2026-W40 | 93 | 154 | 1 | 144 | | 2026-W41 | 57 | 145 | 1 | 129 | | 2026-W41 | 93 | 150 | 1 | 145 | | 2026-W42 | 57 | 126 | 1 | 131 | | 2026-W42 | 93 | 153 | 1 | 150 | ## What this reading can and cannot say A thermal anomaly means NASA's FIRMS satellites saw more heat at the site than it usually shows, at the moment they passed. It does not say why: flaring, a process upset, maintenance and a fire read alike. A fire put out between two passes is never seen, cloud and smoke hide heat, and a site that flares gas every day reads hot on its own, which is why each site is measured against its own normal. A quiet site is no reading at all, never a statement that nothing happened. A site view is a dated Sentinel-2 image: context for a reading, never proof of damage. The SWIR view shows heat and burn scars that true colour cannot. Port occupancy counts large vessels inside the port's box from Sentinel-1 radar, as a weekly median against the port's own trailing eight weeks. It cannot see ships at a quay or outside the box, and small craft do not register. ## Credits - We acknowledge the use of data and imagery from LANCE FIRMS operated by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) with funding provided by NASA Headquarters. - Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2026 (Sentinel-2; Sentinel-1 for port occupancy). - Site positions © OpenStreetMap contributors. - ESA WorldCover: © ESA WorldCover project 2021 / Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2021) processed by ESA WorldCover consortium.
