KPMG secures mandate to lead Kuwait Ports Authority’s new strategic plan

KPMG in Kuwait has been appointed to lead the development of Kuwait Ports Authority’s (KPA) Strategic Plan under Tender No. 3/2025/2026. As lead consultant, KPMG will deliver the strategic consulting engagement, with Haskoning Nederland B.V. and Dar Gulf Consult providing engineering consulting support, to strengthen the competitiveness, connectivity and performance of Kuwait’s commercial ports.

KPMG in Kuwait will integrate the three firms’ contributions into a unified strategic plan, leading market, commercial and organizational analysis, strategy development, as well as the implementation.

Commenting on the mandate, Dr. Rasheed Al Qenae, Managing Partner, KPMG in Kuwait, said, “Kuwait’s ports are central to the nation’s economic diversification and its Vision 2035 ambition to become a regional trade and logistics hub. We are honoured by the trust KPA has placed in KPMG. This mandate reflects our long-standing commitment to Kuwait’s public sector and to the institutions shaping the country’s future.”

The mandate comprises two complementary workstreams. The first will cover strategy development, planning and implementation framework, including an assessment of KPA’s market position and current performance. Strategic options and a roadmap will be translated into detailed functional plans, supported by key performance indicators, a risk framework and a monitoring plan.
