About the company
Petro Link Global Trading FZE is a UAE-based energy and commodities trading company. It sources, stores and distributes petroleum products, petrochemicals, lubricants, diesel fuel and crude oil, connecting a small number of upstream suppliers with buyers across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe.
The company's registered activities extend to the broader petroleum-derivatives complex — including base oils, industrial greases and specialty products — and its Hamriyah operating base gives it direct access to bulk liquid storage and deep-water loading facilities.

International arm — Dubai
Trading activity outside the UAE is carried out through the company's licensed branch at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), established in 2002 by the Government of Dubai to build the market and financial infrastructure for global commodities trade. DMCC is now home to more than 26,000 member companies from over 180 countries and has repeatedly been named the Financial Times' Global Free Zone of the Year.
DMCC is also the master developer of Jumeirah Lakes Towers and the adjoining Uptown Dubai district, anchored by the 340-metre, 77-storey Uptown Tower — completed in 2023 and among the tallest buildings on Dubai's skyline.
The GCC sits on a substantial share of the world's proven oil and gas reserves and remains one of the anchors of global energy trade, moving crude, refined products and petrochemicals to buyers across Asia, Africa and Europe. Within that landscape, Sharjah's Hamriyah Free Zone has spent three decades building exactly the kind of infrastructure a bulk petroleum trading business needs — deep-water berths, dedicated LPG and product terminals, and a dense cluster of third-party tank storage — making it a practical, well-established base for a company handling physical cargo.
DMCC complements that on the commercial side. As the world's most interconnected commodities free zone, it concentrates the trading houses, banks and brokers a growing petroleum trader needs to reach international counterparties — which is why establishing a branch inside DMCC, alongside the operating base in Hamriyah, was a logical extension of the business rather than a change of direction.
How the business runs
Petro Link works with a limited, curated group of upstream suppliers, manages its own product through storage at Hamriyah, and sells on through a mix of local and international channels — a straightforward physical-trading model rather than a purely paper or brokerage operation.

Leadership
Ali Mohamed Maki Hasan Ali
Founder, Owner & Manager
Ali Maki is a Dubai-based entrepreneur whose ventures span real estate, commodities, and strategic consultancy across the GCC. Alongside Petro Link Global Trading, he has founded Qasr Al Yasmeen Properties (QAP), a real estate brokerage, and a separate consultancy firm — a cross-sector background that shapes how Petro Link is run: direct supplier relationships, disciplined licensing, and a preference for a smaller number of well-matched counterparties over high-volume trading.
He is named as sole owner and manager on both the company's Hamriyah Free Zone trade license and its DMCC branch license.
