CEVA Logistics has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Abu Dhabi Ports to work with the Hope Consortium. The Consortium is the umbrella organisation of a UAE-based public-private partnership set up to address the logistical challenge of the worldwide distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.

Hope Consortium operates from the UAE
Spearheaded by the Abu Dhabi Department of Health, the Hope Consortium comprises some of the Emirate’s leading supply chain solution players and consists of Etihad Cargo, Abu Dhabi Ports, Rafed (the healthcare purchasing arm of ADQ – the Abu Dhabi Developmental holding company) and temperature-controlled ULD firm, Skycell alongside a group of specially selected international freight forwarders including CEVA Logistics.

The consortium has been put in place to handle the expected surge in vaccine volumes as production quantities grow. Its aim is to provide a complete supply chain solution anywhere in the world which includes transportation, demand planning, sourcing and digital technology infrastructure. It believes it will be able to distribute billions of doses by the end of the year and will focus on vaccines from all types of manufacturers.

CEVA Logistics offers local and global services

Guillaume Col, chief operating officer CEVA Logistics says, “The ongoing nature of the global pandemic means the delivery of vaccines around the world is the number one priority for the logistics industry.

Backed by a network of temperature-controlled warehouses and vehicles we are proud to support the Hope Consortium in achieving its goal”.
