KGL History
Our Journey to Success

Our journey began in 1956 through the establishment of Dashti Construction Co. (W.L.L) by Mr. Esmail Dashti, excelling in Construction and Stevedoring operations within Kuwait.  Subsequently, the company expanded its operations into a full range of transportation services.


In the 1970’s, the Company began its journey within the Transportation and Stevedoring operations whereby it succeeded in becoming 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 efforts exerted by 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.  Moreover, the company continued to gain its esteemed reputation in transporting cargo, including that of mega EPS projects.
