KUWAIT, March 13 (KUNA) -- Marine traffic at Shuwaikh Port has been suspended due to bad weather conditions in the country, Kuwait Ports Authority said.
The move mainly aims at keeping the safety of ships from dusty weather, the head of operations at the port, Captain Bader Al-Enezi, told KUNA.
He hoped that weather conditions would improve very soon.
Kuwait is witnessing dusty weather as speed of winds hits over 40 km/h and visibility level is below 500 meters.
Earlier in the day, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said aviation traffic is normal despite a wave of dust that has been surging in the country. (end) aam.ht.mt
