Description
n the 1970’s, the Company began its successful expansion into transportation and stevedoring operations when it became the sole stevedoring contractor at Shuwaikh Port in Kuwait. In 1982, the stevedoring and transportation operations were spun-off as Kuwait & Gulf Link Transport Company (K.S.C.C). Through hard work, KGL continued its expansion regionally into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (K.S.A) in 1985, where it started its stevedoring operations in Jubail, Yanbuh and Jeddah Ports. Consequently, the company continued to gain a reputation for excellence in transporting cargo, including that of mega EPS projects.
In 1996, KGL became the main operator of Shuaiba Container Terminal Port in Kuwait. KGL expanded further by diversifying its line of services by launching the Car Rental division in 1997, targeting its services to the Governmental sector. In 2000, KGL participated in the first privatization project in Saudi Arabia, where it won a 25-year concession to operate the Jeddah Islamic North Container Terminal as part of a consortium. That same year, KGL became listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange.
In 2004, regional and global demands increased substantially for fully integrated Transportation, Logistics and Supply Chain Management services. This provided an opportunity for KGL to achieve sustainable growth and greater profitability by leveraging its core competencies in Transportation, Logistics, and Supply Chain services. The Kuwait & Gulf Link Holding Company (KGL) was established. By 2007, the lines of business were spun-off into separate business units in order to enhance the services and efficiency of each sector, as well as to create economies of scale for the group of companies.
