| Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port in Kuwait Kuwait has signed an engineering, procurement and construction contract with China valued at around $4 billion to construct the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port on Bubiyan Island, one of Kuwait's most strategically important national infrastructure projects. Under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract led by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), Egis will provide integrated oversight across the remaining Phase 1 works, including onshore and offshore construction, marine structures, port basin and channel works, utilities, operational buildings, and commissioning activities. Egis has been appointed to provide project management and construction supervision for the completion of Phase 1 of the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port. The company will ensure the project fulfils the Ministry of Public Works' objective to bring the port to full operational readiness, enabling it to serve as a key trade gateway for Kuwait. Located on Boubyan Island, Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port has long been envisioned as a cornerstone of Kuwait's future trade and logistics network. The quay structures and backland reclamation for Phase 1 were completed in 2014, establishing the physical foundation of the port. The current phase focuses on completing the remaining marine, onshore, and operational works required to bring the port into full service for the first time, transforming a strategic asset into a functioning gateway for regional and international trade. Egis' role includes project management, construction supervision, contract administration, schedule and cost control, health and safety leadership, and structured support through testing, commissioning, and handover. Particular emphasis will be placed on governance, transparency, and risk management to protect long-term operational performance. write your comments about the article :: © 2026 Construction News :: home page |
