Egis, a global leader in the architecture, consulting, construction engineering and operations and maintenance sector, has secured the contract to provide project management and construction supervision services for Phase One of the Mubarak Al Kabeer Port, one of Kuwait’s most strategically important infrastructure projects. 

Located on Boubyan Island, the port has long been envisioned as a cornerstone of Kuwait’s future trade and logistics network. 

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, said a statement from Egis.

The quay structures and backland reclamation for Phase One were completed in 2014, establishing the physical foundation of the port. 

Under the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract led by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), Egis will provide integrated oversight across the remaining Phase I works, including onshore and offshore construction, marine structures, port basin and channel works, utilities, operational buildings, and commissioning activities. 

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 and the wider upper Gulf region.

The scope is designed to ensure that the port is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest international standards, it stated.

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, it added.
