Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd announce proposed Gemini Cooperation networks

Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd have announced two proposed network plans as part of the Gemini Cooperation, which will launch in February 2025 and aims to deliver a flexible and interconnected ocean network with industry-leading schedule reliability above 90% once fully phased in. 

One network is the Suez Network, which is comprised of around 300 vessels with a total capacity of 3.4m teu that will offer 57 services, specifically 27 ocean mainliners and 30 intraregional shuttle services. 

The other network is the Cape of Good Hope Network, which offers an alternative due to the on-going disruptions in the Red Sea.
