Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port to position Kuwait as regional trade hub

The Mubarak Al-Kabeer seaport project is a seminal venture that would enable Kuwait to become a central hub for cargo and commercial enterprises, said Minister of Public Work Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan on Sunday.

In a press statement while visiting the site of the project in Boubyan Island, minister Al-Mashaan –also Acting Minister of Water, Electricity, and Renewable Energy — affirmed that the project was an important part of Kuwait Vision 2035 to turn the country to a regional commercial and economic hub.

She asserted that the field inspection of Mubarak Al-Kabeer port was in line with the leadership’s directive to speed up the process of construction, noting that it came to view the latest developments since the contract was signed and work began on March 16.

The Mubarak Al-Kabeer project is an integral part of Kuwait’s development vision to transform the country into a regional and international hub for commerce and economy.

Kuwait and China signed a MoU last September, which included work on the Mubarak Al-Kabeer port.

It is part of a long series of agreements reflecting the deep coordination and cooperation between the two countries.

The current contract for the port includes finalizing the design for the Mubarak Al-Kabeer port and providing a comprehensive vision for execution and operating the project.
