Gemini Cooperation: Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk enter into an operational partnership from February 2025

Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk have signed an agreement for a new long-term operational collaboration called ”Gemini Cooperation”, which will start in February 2025. The ambition is to deliver a flexible and interconnected ocean network with industry-leading reliability being its cornerstone.

"Gemini Cooperation" will cover seven trades and offer 26 mainline services. The network will be centered around 12 key hub ports (10 owned and/ or controlled terminals as well as Singapore and Cartagena). We will in addition run 32 dedicated shuttles to and from these key hubs to ensure seamless connections to many major ports. The fleet of our new partnership will consist of some 290 modern and efficient vessels with a total standing capacity of 3.4 million TEU, many ready to adopt cleaner fuels.
