This innovative service utilizes marine biofuel, providing customers with a significantly more sustainable option for their maritime shipments to West Africa.
Addressing the growing demand for both reliable transport and reduced environmental impact, the new weekly LCL service links key French hubs – Rouen, Marseille, and Lyon – with Abidjan in Ivory Coast.

This demonstrates CEVA’s strong commitment to its sustainability goals and its dedication to offering greener logistics solutions.
The decarbonized LCL service is designed for all types of cargo and offers weekly departures, ensuring efficient and timely transit. Customers can expect a competitive 24-day transit time between Rouen, France, and Abidjan, Ivory Coast, without compromising on sustainability.
This new service is the latest addition to CEVA FORPLANET, the company’s comprehensive range of low-carbon logistics solutions launched in November 2024.
