Kuwait to issue tenders for Mubarak Port

Kuwait is getting ready to issue new tenders for the completion of Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The port started two years ago by the OPEC member as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Kuwait is expected to partially commission the port in October right after it is done with the establishment works, Alqabas reported.

Kuwaiti official sources said that the new tenders are for projects involving the construction of main buildings, roads and a container yard, manufacture, supply and operation of  equipment are needed to operate the port.

It is also important to deepen the canal linking the port with Khor Abdullah Port.

“The cabinet has asked the Finance Ministry to approve allocations for the new projects to complete phase 1 of the Port,” Alqabas reported.
