Syria signs 30-year deal with French shipping giant to operate Latakia Port

CMA CGM plans to invest €230 million over the next several years to modernize the port situated in one of the cities where HTS terrorists have been conducting sectarian massacres of civilians

Since 2009, CMA CGM has managed Latakia Port, taking responsibility for the container terminal operations. The contract has been renewed multiple times, with the latest renewal occurring in October 2024 for an extra 30 years under the former government of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

Since early March, the coastal city of Latakia has been one of the locations of ongoing massacres of thousands of Alawite civilians committed by Syrian government forces.

The de facto officials, many of them foreign extremists, have also been kidnapping young Alawite women and taking them as sex slaves in Idlib – the former stronghold of President Sharaa, formerly known as Al-Qaeda in Syria founder Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
