The
house of Al-Bahar is well known in the region, being one of the
oldest and most respected family business in Kuwait. The Abdulrahman
M Al- Bahar Company dates back nearly a century when it was founded
by the late Mr Abdulrahman M Al-Bahar as a trading house importing
various merchandise, based on Kuwait's strategic position on the
sea route between India, East Africa, Syria and Europe. In the early
1920's their activities were complemented by the acquisition of
various shipping agencies and later, with the formation of the transport,
stevedoring and ship chandelling company, entrusted with the port
administration and ship handling until, with the export of oil,
port activities were absorbed into the public sector. |
