Agility signs up Kuwait petroleum firm

   Agility has signed a five-year, $24.4 million contract with Kuwait National Petroleum Co. for transportation services.
   In addition to moving oversized and traditional petroleum shipments over Agility’s air, land and sea networks, the company will provide origin logistics, customs clearance, freight forwarding and procurement services.  
   “The contract plays to many of our core strengths,” Tarek Sultan, Agility’s chairman and managing director, said in a statement. “We are able to bring together our oil and gas expertise, heavy-lift capability and high-value services, and tailor them to our customer’s needs. Through our global network, we can make all of these services available in locations where KNPC needs us to be.” – Jon Ross
