French conglomerate Bolloré, owned by billionaire Vincent Bolloré’s family, is considering selling its African logistics divisions, French daily Le Monde reported on Friday.

Le Monde said that French shipping company CMA CGM and Danish group Maersk are looking at the assets.

The daily also said that Bolloré’s African logistics activities could be valued between 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion) and 3 billion euros.

Shares in Bolloré were up 2.66% at 0916 GMT.
