Safran has renewed its long-standing logistics partnership with Ceva Logistics for another three years, entrusting the CMA CGM subsidiary once again with the transport of aeronautical parts between Morocco and France, as well as Tunisia and France.
The French industrial group, specialized in aerospace, defense, and space technologies, has extended its collaboration with Ceva Logistics to continue the management of its critical supply chains—specifically the movement of aircraft components and subassemblies from its sites in Morocco and Tunisia to facilities in France.
“We’ve built a partnership over more than 20 years, and we’re delighted by Safran’s renewed confidence in us,” said Cyrille Roux, Global Aerospace & Defense Leader at Ceva Logistics.
According to Ceva, these flows represent over 1,500 shipments annually, covering approximately 100,000 parcels, with a strict delivery requirement to cross-dock platforms just days after loading.
A Detailed Overview of the Logistics Scheme
Ceva Logistics manages daily collections of parts from Safran’s production sites in Morocco and Tunisia, organizing their transport to France. In the reverse direction, shipments departing from France supply components to Safran’s North African facilities.
To handle these bi-directional flows, Ceva implements a combined logistics solution involving road transport followed by maritime shipping via Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. Once in France, cargo is routed through Ceva’s cross-dock platforms in Toulouse and Vitrolles, from which the shipments are dispatched to their final destinations across the country.
This logistics setup is mirrored for outbound shipments from France to ensure consistent supply chain operations between Safran and its industrial partners across the regions.
