The Al-Zour LNG Import Terminal is the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, located 90 kilometers southeast of Kuwait’s capital.

The project included the construction of:

• A re-gasification facility
• Eight LNG storage tanks, each with a capacity of 225,000 m³
• Marine facilities, including two marine jetties and berthing facilities for loading
• Other components such as 14 HP pumps, boil-off gas (BOG) and flare facilities

The facility was expected to produce approximately 22 million metric tonnes (MMT) of natural gas per year and have a storage capacity of 1.8 million m³ of LNG. The liquefaction capacity of the terminal was estimated at 30 billion cubic meters per day (bcm/d).

Dextra’s Contribution to the Marine Facilities:
For this project, Dextra supplied:

• 202 tons of Grade 700 marine tie bars, used as anchors between sheet piles or concrete walls
• 166 tons of waling beams, essential for reinforcing the marine infrastructure

The Al-Zour LNG Import Terminal was completed in November 2021 and reached full operations in February 2022. The terminal now plays a critical role in Kuwait’s energy infrastructure, providing the country with a stable gas network to support energy diversification and sustainable energy initiatives.
