Kuwait Storage Assessment

There is no lack of storage space in and around Kuwait City, which is where most commercial activities are centered and where the international airport and a big port is situated. Sulaibiya is an industrial area south-west of the city centre, located conveniently next to the 6th Ring Road with easy access to the highways. There are also other private Storage Spaces from 300 mtr2 to 1000 mtr2 in Kuwait City & Al Salmia as well Doha and/or Al-Jahra, located a bit further out and to the direct west of the city centre, have a good location with easy access to the highways, especially the routes heading to the north and the west. There are also Private Storage spaces in Al-Jahra with different spaces from 300 Mtr2 to 1000 Mtr2. Mina Abdullah, near Shuaiba Port, is situated about 45 km south of Kuwait City and another industrial area where plenty of private and public sector warehouses are available. Many of them are somehow related to the Oil Refinerys or the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC).

No storage is available at the overland border crossings.
