Managing the event logistics for the Paris 2024 Games

PROJECT OVERVIEW

As the official partner in logistics solutions for the Paris 2024 Games, alongside CMA CGM, CEVA worked as the silent architect for the world’s greatest and most complex sporting event.

Our customer’s business challenges

Logistics for all types of cargo and vehicles
International customs procedures
High profile event requiring security measures
Immense inbound, outbound, venue and reverse logistics coordination
Need for secure IT solutions for venue management

The Solution

CEVA delivered a comprehensive end-to-end logistics solution, ensuring seamless coordination across transport modes and on-site operations over the course of one year. CEVA teams supported many aspects of the immense event, including preparing the Olympic Village, transporting equipment and baggage for the athletes, setting up event venues in Paris and at other sites (like Tahiti), transitioning venues and then closing out the events with comprehensive reverse logistics activities.

To guarantee the success of this complex event, we deployed dedicated teams, implemented low-carbon solutions, and established 24/7 control towers to efficiently orchestrate all flows. With security as a top priority, all solutions were designed to meet the highest security standards.
