This week’s Logistics Bulletin reports on the successful completion of CMA CGM’s friendly bid for CEVA Logistics. CMA CGM will hold 97.89% of the outstanding shares and voting rights of CEVA. Merging CEVA's operations into the CMA CGM Group will strengthen its position as a worldwide leader in maritime transport and logistics. The implementation of CEVA's new strategic plan, prepared jointly with CMA CGM, and the close cooperation between the teams of the two companies aim to drive an improvement in CEVA's financial performance, whilst a CEVA operational centre will be set up in Marseilles to bring together the management teams and support functions.
