Hapag-Lloyd has announced an update on its collaboration with A.P. Moller-Maersk (Maersk) as they edge closer to the launch of the Gemini Cooperation, set for February 2025.
The key updates are as follows:
- Two Network Options: Given the ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea, Hapag-Lloyd presents two network options showcasing a slightly updated Suez Network building on Red Sea routings and an alternative Cape Network.
- Comprehensive Network Structure: The shipping liner plans to announce in October its network selection for operations. Depending on which network option is finally selected to kickstart the Gemini Cooperation, there will be 57- 59 services, including efficient mainliners and an extensive shuttle network accompanied by a fleet of 300-340 vessels.
- Network Design for Reliability: The liner’s hub and spoke network design reportedly ensures resilience and adaptability.
