CEVA Logistics expands with new base in Kribi

CEVA Logistics continues to grow its presence across the African continent with the construction of a new logistics base in the port area of Kribi, Cameroon

The 30,000 m² facility is scheduled to open between September and January and will feature 25,000 m² of space for import-export container storage and 5,000 m² of warehouse space.

A global leader in third-party logistics, CEVA is strengthening its commitment to the development of trade in Central Africa through the strategic expansion of its regional operations and logistics capabilities. The company is focused on delivering innovative and sustainable logistics solutions tailored to the specific needs of the African market. As part of this commitment, CEVA has launched the construction of a new logistics platform near the Port Authority of Kribi, supporting its role as a key contributor to economic growth in the region.

Located just two kilometres from the port, the new platform will be capable of receiving and storing up to 2,200 import and export TEUs on its 25,000 m² container storage area. The 5,000 m² warehouse will accommodate export-bound products such as cotton, sesame, cocoa, gum arabic and lumber.

Growing footprint in Cameroon

CEVA Logistics has already built a strong operational base in Cameroon, with offices in Douala, Yaoundé and Kribi. The company manages a 20,000 m² container depot in the port area of Douala, offering storage for up to 1,200 TEUs, along with warehousing and bonded storage facilities. This is supported by an additional logistics hub in the Bonabéri industrial zone.

Cameroon’s transport and logistics sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing trade volumes across Central Africa. By establishing operations in Kribi, home to the country’s only deep-water port, CEVA has made a strategic investment in what is becoming Cameroon’s most important logistics and economic gateway.

CEVA Logistics continues to expand in Africa

The development of the Kribi platform forms part of CEVA’s wider strategy to become a major player in transport and logistics throughout Africa. The company is already present in 24 countries and plans to extend its logistics services to four more, including Gabon, Ghana, Guinea and the Republic of Congo by the end of 2025.

Mehdi Ghozayel, head of Central Africa Cluster, CEVA Logistics, said, “The construction of this new logistics base in Cameroon, designed to meet the growing logistics needs of economic operators in the region, marks a new stage in the development of our presence in Central Africa. With this platform, strategically located close to the port area in Kribi, we will continue to support our customers in their commercial exchanges to and from Cameroon.”
