Born in Abidjan in 1991. Built on the quayside. The complete logistics chain, from the port through to the final destination.

Lagune Transit Abidjan, abbreviated to LTA, is a public limited company specialising in customs clearance, cargo handling, shipping, transport and storage. Founded in 1991, LTA was born from the will to support shippers in port operations and inland logistics in Côte d'Ivoire.

LTA operates in Abidjan. It has organised itself step by step and adapted to the changing demands of international trade, diversifying its activities with an attractive investment portfolio. Today our aim is to make global logistics a channel of growth for our partners.

Our values

Five principles, applied on the ground.

  1. 01

    Adaptability

    Every operation carries its own constraints. The LTA team adjusts, finds a way through and keeps moving, whatever the situation.

  2. 02

    Customer satisfaction

    Your satisfaction is our priority.

    A good experience is not improvised. It is built at every stage, with rigour and attention.

  3. 03

    Commitment

    Every member of the team carries LTA.

    Commitment shows in punctuality, in rigour, in being there day after day.

  4. 04

    Proximity

    A relationship that goes beyond the file.

    We take the time to know our clients, their constraints and the realities of their operations. A lasting relationship is built on listening.

  5. 05

    Professionalism

    35 years of experience. The same care as on day one.

    Every move, every decision reflects what LTA stands for: a house that does things to a standard.
