<\/strong>Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA) will reportedly build a KWD 200 mn <\/strong>(c. USD <\/strong>649.3 mn) <\/strong>integrated logistics <\/strong>city at Shuwaikh Port<\/strong>, Al Qabas<\/a> reports, citing a document it has seen. The project is slated for completion by 2028 and will include multi-story warehouses, administrative buildings, support services, and exhibition halls.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/strong> The new logistics hub will allow Shuwaikh port to receive larger vessels, boost container handling and storage, and increase the capacity for re-exporting goods from Kuwait to other ports, Al Qabas writes. The project looks to enhance Kuwait\u2019s trade and logistics performance by upgrading infrastructure required for maritime trade, attracting international investors and boosting revenues. KPA will also apply the project towards empowering SMEs active in the foreign trade and logistics sectors, the news outlet added. <\/p>\n

About Shuwaikh Port:<\/strong> The facility stands as Kuwait\u2019s principal commercial port, and boasts an 8 km navigation channel, according to Kuwaiti shipping outfit Al Rashed Group<\/a>. The port currently has 21 berths, including two container berths. A new shipping line dedicated to the transport of vehicles and ro-ro goods was launched between Kuwait\u2019s Shuwaikh Port and the UAE\u2019s Khalifa Port last September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shuwaikh is undergoing a makeover:<\/strong> KPA broke ground on phase one of a KWD 48.7 mn project to redevelop and rehabilitate Shuwaikh Port\u2019s docks last March<\/a>. South Korea\u2019s Hyundai, and GCC-based Gulf Construction were contracted for the project which is expected to take 36 months from its starting date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
