The six-month tender was offered by Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) to cover the repairs related to the oil export pier, HEISCO said in a filing to Boursa Kuwait on Sunday.

The tender is expected to generate operating profits to be registered in the financial statements of the subsidiary for fiscal year 2019/2020.
