MS Artania’s pit stop in Kuwait is part of efforts to boost local 'maritime tourism,' said a Kuwait Ports Authority in a statement. It is in line with the national 'Development Vision 2035.' The German-owned MS Artania, en route to a number of Gulf Arab countries, is the first tourist ship to dock in Kuwait since 2012. - KUNA
