The deal was awarded by the state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC).

Under the contract Hyundai E&C will be in charge of construction of eight LNG storage tanks and the docking facilities at the Al-Zour LNG import terminal, 90 kilometers south of Kuwait’s capital, Kuwait City, the consortium said in a statement.
