Subsidiaries

Gulf Dredging & General Contracting Company (GD) was founded in 1975 as a joint venture between the Government of Kuwait and Ballast Nedam of the Netherlands to meet the growing demand for dredging services in Kuwait. Initially focused on capital dredging, GD rapidly established a strong presence in the maritime sector through its specialized fleet.

In 1980, the company diversified into marine construction and, following Kuwait’s privatization initiatives, it became a subsidiary of HEISCO. Later, GD expanded further by launching its Civil Construction Division, enabling it to undertake major civil and infrastructure projects.

Today, GD is recognized as a leading regional provider of dredging and marine services, known for its technical expertise, commitment to quality, and focus on sustainable solutions. The company has established branches in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Iraq. Additionally, the company maintains an active presence in Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman.
