CMA CGM opens 20,000 square metres of warehousing in Lebanon
The CMA CGM group has opened the first logistics storehouse in Lebanon, located in Bekaa Valley in Taanayel.
The move is part of the group's strategy to offer bespoke logistics solutions to their reefer customers in the richest agricultural, commercial and industrial region of Lebanon.
With a total area of 20,000 square metres, the new logistics storehouse can store up to 1,000 empty TEU. The new facility will enable the group to respond to requests for import/export shipments from Lebanon's largest agricultural area, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
This logistics solution also facilitates the recovery of empty containers, thus reducing costs and saving considerable time.
"CMA CGM is constantly innovating its service offerings for the Lebanese market, and the opening of the new Taanayel dry port brings us closer, creating new opportunities to serve our Bekaa clients," said CMA CGM Lebanon general manager Joe Dakkak.
"We have always believed in our country's potential, and this new investment is a true example of our faith in Lebanon's economic development," he said.
Fifty kilometres from Beirut and 124 kilometres from Tripoli, the Taanayel warehouse is at the crossroads of the Lebanese coast and Damascus - one of the most important trade routes in the Middle East.
CMA CGM's Beirut office employs 200 people.
