2.2.2 Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The Emir of Kuwait is the sponsor of the local Red Crescent Society, and most international
charity work is organized under the auspices of the KRCS. Logistics Cluster partners should
plan on coordinating with the KRCS for availability of services, including support and
information for allowing duty free goods permissions.
Kuwait
Version 14 12
There are a limited number of NGO’s registered in Kuwait, so individual humanitarian agencies
should also consider coordination with the KRCS and other local charities in order to ensure
customs documentation and other process requirements are met. All International
Humanitarian organizations need to liaise with MoFA.
During Iraq War 2003, the Kuwait Government run the Humanitarian Operations Centre (HOC)
coordinating all humanitarian cargo to Iraq with specific procedures for UN agencies and
NGOs. HOC is currently not operational, but MoFA is the initial contact regarding HOC.

3.1 Kuwait Logistics Infrastructure Narrative
3.2 2.1 Kuwait Port Assessment
3.2.1 Kuwait Port Assessment
There are three commercial ports in Kuwait which are an important part of its transport network.
Shuwaikh, Shuaiba and Doha port are all managed by Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA), a public
sector body run on a commercial basis under the Authority of the Ministry of Communications.
Shuwaikh Port is considered the main commercial port for Kuwait, situated inside Kuwait Bay
and to the immediate northwest of Kuwait City. The port has commercial and container berths
and there is also the milling company, Kuwait Flour Mills & Bakeries, situated next to the port
with specific berths only for them.
Shuaiba Port is Kuwait’s second most important commercial port, situated 45 km to the south of
Kuwait City. The port has commercial and container berths as well as an oil pier which is
operated by Kuwait National Petroleum Co. Most of Kuwait’s maritime trade is carried out
through the ports of Shuwaikh and Shuaiba. Website of the Al Rashed Group on Shuaiba Port
Doha Port, located to the North of Kuwait City at the far end of Kuwait Bay is the smallest of
Kuwait Ports Authority (KPA) ports with a depth of 4.3 meters. The port is used to berth dhows,
barges and small coastal vessels operating between Gulf Ports.
3.2.2 2.1.1 Kuwait Port of Shuwaikh
Key port information can also be found at:
Website of the Maritime Database on Shuwaik Port
Port Overview
Shuwaikh Port is considered the main commercial port for Kuwait. It is located at Latitude 29°
21' North, Longitude 47° 56' East. It has a total land area of 3,2 million square metres and 1.2
million square metres water basin area .The vessel traffic to and from the port passes through a
Navigation Channel dredged inside Kuwait Bay. The length of the channel is approximately
Kuwait
Version 14 21
8kms with a depth of 8.5 meters at minimum water tide level. The port has 21 berths of which
14 berths with 10 metres depth (Berth No 1 to Berth No 14), four berths with 8.5 metres depth
(Berth No 18 -21) and three berths with 6.7 metres depth (Berths 15,16,17). Total length of all
berths is 4055 metres. The Port can receive vessels of 7.5meters draft at any tide condition and
vessels of 9.5meters draft at high tide. It is a tidal port with entry of deep drafted ships being
restricted to the period of high tide, occurring twice daily. For tide times of Shuwaikh Port: h
ttp://www.met.gov.kw/Forecasts/marine.php
The vessels traffic to and from the port is passing through a Navigation Channel dredged inside
Kuwait Bay. The length of the channel is about 8 Kilometres and its depth is 8.5 metres at
minimum water tide level. During rush hours (Sun-Thu) entry of trucks are restricted within the
inner city, which is limiting entry and exit to/from the port to non-peak hours since Shuwaikh
Port is located inside this ‘banned area’. It applies for both light and heavy trucks, and
tractors. Peak hourse are set to 06:30 – 09:30 AM and 12:30 – 15:30 PM, but with the new
road development projects soon to start in Kuwait City (‘The Ghazali project’ and ‘the Sheikh
Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge’) expectations are access to Shuwaikh Port and the nearby
Shuwaikh Industrival Area will be further hampered during the construction phase. For further
details see ‘ROAD’ section. Furthermore, a new deep-sea Bobyan Naval Port (also referred to
as Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port) has started at Bobyan Island in the north-east of Kuwait. This is
part of a huge and long-term development project also including additional infrastructure
projects that will link up the new port with Kuwait City and other cities in the region.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies
Clearing Agents
There is no shortage of clearing agents in Kuwait. Custom clearance could be done through
either global freight forwarders or individual local customs house brokers. The first scenario
would mean that the terms of shipment could be negotiated with freight forwarders. For
example door to door with the freight forwarder taking on all liabilities from pick up to delivery
including documentation, clearance & transportation. The second scenario would require the
sending agency/organisation to ensure they have all the documentation requirements covered
to to be able to approach individual customs house brokers to complete custom clearance
process. Delivery then will have to be negotiated separately. Labour is easily available and
normally managed by the stevedores in the ports and by the warehousing companies in the
warehouses.

3.3.1 2.2.1 Kuwait International Airport
Kuwait International Airport, which is located 16 km south of Kuwait City, can currently handle
in excess of 6m passengers a year. The government ordered a modernization program for the
airport during the early 1990s, valued at US$60m, which was completed in two phases.
Kuwait International Airport has recently completed the construction of four new departure
gates. Two of the gates have been added to the airport’s southeastern terminal and the other
two the southwestern terminal, adding 40% to the capacity of both terminals.
The airport is being expanded at a total cost of $6bn in a project aimed at almost doubling its
capacity. A new 710,000m2 LEED Gold second passenger terminal is set to renovate the
airport and capacitate major airline growth, boosting the capacity of the airport to 13m by 2016.
Almost half of those $6bn is expected to be spent on other projects, including the widening the
runways, a new control tower and a new cargo town.

Kuwait’s road network consists of a radial grid design. With seven major Ring Roads and a
number of major dual-carriage expressways, the road network links Kuwait City to every area of
Kuwait, as well as to the Iraqi and Saudi Arabian borders.
Kuwait has 5,749 Km of road network, of which 4,887 Km is paved. Kuwait has a good road
infrastructure which is currently suffering the effect of increased demands made on it by the
expanding urban population. A number of roads suffer from excessive use by heavy loads. As a
result, restrictions have been implemented as to when heavy vehicles are permitted to use
certain roads. The government is investing heavily in upgrading a number of roads.
