Kuwait Petroleum Corporation plans to expand its tanker fleet and storage capacity as it prepares for prolonged disruptions to regional energy trade caused by the U.S.-Iran conflict. KPC Managing Director of International Marketing Sheikh Khaled Al-Sabah said that increasing the company's own shipping capacity would give Kuwait greater control over crude oil and petroleum-product deliveries as disruptions complicate trade flows and delivery schedules. KPC is also expanding storage capacity as part of efforts to strengthen supply resilience and maintain commitments to customers.
