CMA CGM Opens 3CTC Terminal

The CMA CGM Group inaugurated its new logistics platform, the 3CTC Terminal (CMA CGM Cameroon Container Terminal), on February 19, 2015.

The 3CTC platform has been operational since January 7, 2015, and its concession attributed for 25 years. It is located in an area between Douala and the port, where it occupies two hectares.

With this new platform, the CMA CGM Group offers its clients a range of logistics solutions, including full and/or empty containers storage in a 1,200 square meters secured area and merchandises land transportation in Cameroon, Chad and Central African Republic.

CMA CGM’s vessels call Douala twice a week, offering Cameroon industrials imports and exports solutions with the entire world. The group said it has the ambition to become a big player in Cameroon’s development.

The 3CTC platform illustrates CMA CGM land development strategy. With CCIS – CMA CGM Inland Services – its one and unique entity created to accompany this strategy, the group opened a platform in Dakar, Senegal, last year, and has developed 14 terrestrial hubs, creating transport corridors between land locked and coastal countries.

Rodolphe Saadé, Vice Chairman of the CMA CGM Group, noted, “This inauguration shows our determination to reinforce our presence in Africa and to develop both our inland and logistics activities there. It also confirms our desire to become a major player in Cameroon’s economic growth”.

The CMA CGM Group has been in sub-Saharan Africa, where it has 1,300 employees in 72 offices, since 2001.
