• Ceva begins construction of 30,000 square meter logistics base near Kribi port, Cameroon

• Includes storage for 2,200 containers, ready by 2025–2026

• Aim to Boost trade flow and Ceva’s presence alongside Douala site

French logistics group Ceva Logistics, a subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, has launched the construction of new logistics base in the port zone of Kribi, southern Cameroon. The project aims to support the deep seaport's growing operations and is part of a broader strategy to boost Cameroon’s economic appeal.

The facility, set on a 30,000 square meter site, will include a 25,000 square meter storage yard for import-export containers, expected to be operational by September 2025. A 5,000 square meter warehouse is also planned for completion in January 2026. Once finished, the hub will hold up to 2,200 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), meeting increasing demand from businesses in the subregion.

“This project marks a new milestone in our development in Central Africa,” said Mehdi Ghozayel, head of the Central Africa cluster at Ceva Logistics. Located just two kilometers from the Kribi deep-sea port, the facility is expected to streamline goods movement and better integrate Cameroon into global logistics networks.

Ceva is already present in Douala with a 20,000 square meter platform and a bonded warehouse, reinforcing its presence along Cameroon’s two main port corridors. The group operates in 170 countries and employs over 100,000 people. Its revenue reached $18.3 billion in 2024, according to Business in Cameroon.
