About Shuaiba
Shuaiba lies south of Kuwait City beside the industrial area of the same name and takes deeper-draught vessels than Shuwaikh. It handles industrial, project and bulk cargo alongside containers, serving the refineries and heavy industry nearby. For project cargo it is generally the better of the two Kuwaiti options.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Shuaiba — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 20–25 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Kuwait lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
