On the sidelines of the Africa Forward Summit (#AFS2026<\/a>) in Nairobi, CMA CGM and the Government of Kenya signed an agreement whereby the French shipping giant agreed to invest EUR 700 million ($820M) to upgrade Mombasa Container Terminal. The signing was witnessed by Kenya’s President William Ruto and France’s President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Mombasa handled 2.11 million Twenty-Foot Equivalents (#TEU<\/a>), representing a 5.5% year-on-year growth. Thus, Mombasa is operating near its full capacity and an upgrade is urgently needed.<\/p>\n\n\n

The upgrade will boost the handling capacity to 3.5 million TEU. The quays will be dredged to accommodate the next-generation Ultra-Large Container Vessels (#ULCV<\/a>). accommodate. The upgrade works are expected to be completed by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with positioning Mombasa as a gateway into the East African Community (#EAC<\/a>), CMA CGM is bringing on board its subsidiary CEVA Logistics to provide multimodal end-to-end transport services deep into Africa, serving landlocked countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n\n\n

In that regard, the Government of Kenya introduced reforms to facilitate foreign investments via Public-Private Partnerships (#PPP<\/a>). Thus, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) will open up several areas around the Mombasa port for development by private investors. In particular, the opened-up areas include Berths 20-24 at Mombasa Port Container Terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMA CGM is most likely to focus its efforts on modernizing these berths. The French shipping company has been operating in Kenya since 2005 and has recently opened a regional office in Abidjan, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire. It has offices around Africa and is involved in the Kribi Container Terminal in Cameroon, the Lekki Deep Port in Nigeria and the Pointe-Noire Deep Water Terminal in DRC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
