CMA CGM acquires Tripoli Container Terminal’s Gulftainer Lebanon

CMA CGM Group has acquired all the shares in Gulftainer Lebanon, the operator of the Port of Tripoli container terminal, boosting its position as a terminal operator in the Mediterranean.

With an established presence at the Port of Tripoli, the carrier operates five lines per week, including the BEX, which offers a direct link with China.

Since February, two of its existing maritime lines, Med Express and Megem, have opened the way to the Arab, Indian and Mediterranean markets. In 2021, the Port of Tripoli, which is a Mediterranean hub, will welcome nearly 240 vessels of the French company’s fleet.
