Optimistic view
Kuwait Feasts
On the occasion of celebrating the National Days experienced by
the country during these days, I extend highest congratulations
to HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, HH
the Crown-Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah,
HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad
Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti people and government, imploring the
Almighty Allah to have mercy on our martyrs, perpetuate the
bliss of stability and security and make Kuwait a land of love
and peace.
Stable Situations
Talal Al-khaled Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah The oil sector is undoubtedly important being the nerve and
Chief Executive Officer backbone of the Kuwaiti economy. Its stability is necessary for
going ahead in construction, development and realization of
strategies and objectives, especially amid the great challenges
facing oil industry. As a matter of fact, all oil sector employees
are exerting efforts to upgrade this important sector, asking the
Almighty Allah to give us success.
Positive Spirit
The changes recently experienced by the oil sector helped
infuse positive morale and optimism. All began to understand
the importance of team spirit, cooperation and harmony, thus
conducive to good results which will contribute to coping with
the current and future challenges resulting from the oil price
drop and its impact on the financial performance of KPC and
its subsidiaries.
Expenditure Rationalization
There should be reform measures by the government,
including austerity steps to rationalize the expenditure, reduce
high costs and exert steady efforts to maximize revenues.
Within this framework, directives from the state have urged
all government authorities to also take earnest steps to limit
expenditure. KOTC started adopting a campaign to reduce
expenses and increase individual productivity. Such a plan
began to yield fruit.
Future Projects
Within KOTC constant efforts to modernize its fleet, the
company is preparing to invite Phase IV bids, inclusive of
building 8 different-size tankers that include 1 crude oil super-
tanker, 4 petroleum product tankers and 3 liquefied gas tankers.
Taking delivery of Phase IV tankers of the fleet modernization
is expected during FY 2017/2018.
KOTC is also preparing to re-launch the building of 2 VLGC
gas tankers, of which 1 is a gas super-tanker and 1 medium-
size tanker.
