CMA CGM reinforces its maritime services from/to Africa
CMA CGM: Inauguration of the Terminal Conteneurs Dakar 2 (TCD 2) in Senegal will be followed by the opening of new trades and calls in Africa
After more than 8 years of presence in Senegal through its brand Delmas, the CMA CGM Group launches a second container platform in Dakar, the TCD2, on 13 February, thus comforting its import/export leading position in the country. The TCD1 and TCD2 platforms will regroup full and empty bonded container storage activities, local deliveries (10 tractors and 30 own operated trailers), stuffing and unstuffing, transit, railway and road transport, notably to Mali, as well as a 64 plugs reefer zone. Together TCD1 (12,000 m²) and TCS2 (15,000 m²) platforms have about 1,000 TEU full/empty storage capacity.
With weekly services connecting Dakar directly to the main European ports and to the Tangier hub, the exclusive operation of TCD1 in Dakar, and the opening of this new platform, CMA CGM confirms its leading position on the Senegalese market regarding volumes, services and the creation of new businesses.
Present in Africa since 2001, when the WAX trade was created – linking West Africa with China – and consolidated with the acquisition of Delmas, the maritime transport expert in Africa, in 2006, the CMA CGM Group is now one of the leading container shipping lines in Africa. With 72 offices in 43 countries, 25 maritime services, 1,300 employees, the company has transported over 1.2 million TEUs in 2013 from/to Africa.
Already well-established in Africa, the Group aims at reinforcing its maritime services with the opening of new trades and calls, developing the creation and modernization of its ports infrastructures, extending its solutions for intermodal transport so as to deliver cargo inland and creating new logistic platforms offering a wide range of additional services to its customers (storage, stuffing…).
