KGL Ports International (KGLPI) was incorporated in 2004 as the port business subsidiary of Kuwait and Gulf Link Holding Transport KSC. The company offers a complete range of port related services, including construction, management and operations, transport, logistics and equipment leasing. The vision of KGLPI is to gain international recognition as an innovator in the ports industry.
KGLPI has extensive port management operations in the Middle East, including joint ventures with international companies in ports in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The company has been very active in securing port business in West Africa and is currently in the process of signing a 30-year concession with the governments of Gambia and Ghana to manage their ports.
Its commitment to total quality being one of its most important corporate values, KGLPI was certified ISO 9001:2000 in 2007. The company exploits information technology to its fullest potential to ensure highly effective operations and now implements the latest version of NAVIS, the most sophisticated computerized port management system on the globe.
“We at KGLPI are proud to excel as a customer-focused company, and as such, we always dedicate our utmost endeavours to supplying our clients with quality service that not only meets their full requirements and satisfaction, but actually exceeds their expectations,” says Alan Pollard, Commercial Manager of RAK Container Terminal managed by KGLPI at Saqr Port in Ras Al Khamiah.
Dulsco has been involved with white collar and blue collar recruitment for the KGL since its inception in RAK two years ago. Dulsco has been outsourcing accountants and stevedoring staff, along with personnel for their Engineering and Maintenance division. To date KGL has employed 25 blue collar and 5 white collar personnel from Dulsco.
“Dulsco has provided us with good candidates for the accountant’s position. The blue collar employees implement all the jobs assigned to them very well. Our stevedoring supervisors know how to direct and co-ordinate with the workers and get the job done on time. Dulsco has always been able to fulfil our staffing requirements successfully,” says Pollard.
“Our business is growing rapidly. We are recruiting personnel in the management, administration, engineering and stevedoring sectors and we are looking for support from Dulsco for quality candidates. Dulsco stevedoring services and project management abilities are on a par with the best and I will always come back to Dulsco for its quality services,” Pollard confirms.
