SECTION 1.2

Description of the concentration

On 21 December 2018, CMA CGM S.A. (“CMA CGM”), a French company headquartered in Marseille, notified to the Commission a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) no 139/2004, by which it intends to acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation, via a public tender offer, sole control over CEVA Logistics AG (“CEVA”), a Switzerland-based company.

CMA CGM, a significant player in sea transportation, is involved in container liner shipping, port terminal services and, to a lesser extent, freight forwarding services. On its side, CEVA offers a range of services in two severable lines of business: (i) freight forwarding – including air and ocean freight, ground transportation, customs brokerage and other value-added services – and (ii) contract logistics – including warehousing services, transportation, inbound logistics and manufacturing support.
