Today, KGL is the premier provider of integrated Supply Chain
Management services in the Middle East, fulfilling the Transportation,
Logistics, Port Management, Shipping and Freight Forwarding needs of countless
regional and international clients. However, our journey began in 1956 when Dashti Construction Co. (W.L.L)
was established by Mr. Esmail
Dashti, excelling in
Construction and Stevedoring operations within Kuwait.
In the 1970’s, the Company began its successful expansion into Transportation
and Stevedoring operations when it became the sole Stevedoring contractor in Shuwaikh Port in Kuwait. In 1982,
the Stevedoring and Transportation operations were spun-off as Kuwait &
Gulf Link Transport Company (K.S.C) Closed. Through the hard work of Mr. Esmail Dashti and his Deputy, Mr. Abdullah Al-Wazzan, 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. At
the same time, the company continued to gain a reputation for excellence in
transporting cargo, including that of mega EPS projects.
