As Kuwait advances its Vision 2035 to become a regional logistics and financial hub, Al Kazemi Group has positioned itself as a key contributor to this transformation. With over 70 years of experience, the Group leverages Kuwait’s strategic location and infrastructure development—such as the Mubarak Al Kabeer Port and Gulf Railway—to strengthen its leadership in the shipping and logistics sector.
Established in 1953, Al Kazemi has evolved from a shipping agency into a diversified logistics provider offering freight forwarding, customs brokerage, project logistics, airline representation, and cross-border transportation. Its partnerships with global leaders like MSC, UPS, and PSA BDP highlight its international integration and operational reach.
Mr. Shajy George, General Manager of the Shipping and Logistics Division, who brings over 25 years of industry experience to the role has enhanced operational efficiency, embraced digital innovation, and strengthened client relationships across complex logistics projects.
Al Kazemi has demonstrated particular expertise in project logistics within Kuwait’s oil, gas, and infrastructure sectors. The Group has managed logistics for high-profile developments such as the $1.3 billion Subiya Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Project and the $4.9 billion Clean Fuels Project in Mina Al Ahmadi, handling hundreds of thousands of cubic feet of over-dimensional and heavy-lift cargo.
To mitigate market risks—including those tied to Kuwait's oil-dependent economy—Al Kazemi has adopted a diversified business model and focuses on continuous innovation. The company prioritizes digital transformation, regulatory compliance, and sustainability, holding multiple ISO certifications and adhering to IMO and IATA standards. Technology-driven initiatives support operational efficiency and transparency.
Looking ahead, Al Kazemi plans to expand into strategic logistics zones and establish operations at the upcoming Mubarak Al Kabeer Port. These efforts align with Kuwait’s broader economic diversification goals, positioning Al Kazemi Group as a driving force in the nation’s logistics evolution.
