CEVA Logistics, a global player in third-party logistics, is strengthening its commitment to Central African trade development through the strategic expansion of its regional presence and enhanced logistics capabilities.

A stronger CEVA presence in Cameroon
CEVA Logistics has established a strong operational foundation in Cameroon with offices in Douala, Yaoundé and Kribi. The company operates a substantial 20,000 m² container depot in Douala’s port area, featuring a 1,200 TEU capacity alongside warehousing and bonded storage facilities, complemented by an additional logistics hub in the Bonabéri industrial zone.
Cameroon’s transport and logistics sector is experiencing significant growth, fueled by increasing trade volumes in Central Africa. By establishing operations in the Port Authority of Kribi, Cameroon’s only deep-water port, CEVA has made a strategic investment in what is emerging as the country’s premier logistics corridor and economic gateway.
CEVA Logistics continues to expand in Africa
The expansion of CEVA Logistics in Africa is part of its strategy to become a major player in logistics and transport across the continent. CEVA is already present in 24 African countries and will be offering logistics solutions in an additional 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.”
