Egis has been appointed to provide project management and construction supervision for the completion of Phase 1 of the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, one of Kuwait’s most strategically important national infrastructure projects. The company, a global leader in architecture, consulting, construction engineering and operations and maintenance, 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.
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.
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. The scope is designed to ensure that the port is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest international standards.
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.
The company brings extensive international experience in complex port and marine developments, supported by established ISO-certified management systems and regional delivery capability. The project team will work in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Works and CCCC, embedding early technical studies into design review processes and maintaining continuous oversight from mobilisation through final handover.
