Kuwait has signed a six-year, $106 million contract with Greek gas grid operator DESFA for the group to operate a liquefied natural gas import terminal in the Gulf emirate, the state-run news agency KUNA reported on Thursday.
The LNG terminal, in the al-Zour area, will go into operation next year, the agency said, citing an official from state-owned Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company, which signed the deal.

Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, acting CEO of Kipic, Hatem al-Awadhi, said he was expecting phase one of Kuwait’s LNG import and regasification terminal to come online on 10 September 2020.
He said the second phase was due to be inaugurated on 12 February 2021.
The project has seen some delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it is not known to what extent plans to bring the terminal online will be disrupted.
Construction project
The main contract for the LNG terminal was awarded in 2016 to a consortium of South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering Company, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Company and Korea Gas Corporation for $2.93bn.
