Iranian drone attack prompts EGA to declare force majeure
Written by Kristen DiLandro
Damage from a drone attack at its Al Taweelah plant has led Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) to declare a force majeure on some of its products.
EGA said in a statement to The National on Sunday, April 12, that while not all of EGA’s customers would be affected, the damage was significant enough to warrant the declaration. The company operates two smelters in the United Arab Emirates, Al Taweelah and Jebel Ali (DUBAL), and the disruption is tied to tis Al Taweelah site.
