- Launching the new network is a great opportunity for all of us. With our targeted schedule reliability, we will satisfy one of our customers’ most important needs even better and set a new quality standard in the industry. Together with our operating partner Maersk, we are focused on delivering on our 90% schedule reliability promise, explains Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd. 

The Gemini network will also set new industry standards in terms of sustainability and advance the companies’ ongoing decarbonization efforts.

- Thanks to our effective hub & spoke operating system, we can deploy larger vessels and thus simultaneously optimize speed, reduce idling times, and thereby cutting down on carbon emissions. All of this saves our customers a lot of time and resources, Habben Jansen adds.

Key facts about the new network:

• Hub & spoke model
• 57 services
• 3.7 million TEU capacity
• Around 340 vessels
• 29 mainliners
• 28 inter-regional shuttles (Europe: 13; Asia: 10; Middle East: 4; Americas: 1)

As announced in October 2024, the Gemini network will re-route via the Cape of Good Hope. The partners will continue to closely monitor and analyze the latest developments and their impact on the security situation in the Red Sea and will return to the region once it is safe to do so.

Services in the new ocean network are available for booking on the Hapag-Lloyd website.
