Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk on Red Sea transit return for Gemini

Information regarding Gemini Cooperation

In light of recent media coverage about the resumption of Gemini sailings through Suez / the Red Sea and the timing of such, the Gemini partners Hapag-Lloyd and A.P. Moller - Maersk share the following update:

At the launch of the Gemini Cooperation in February 2025, A.P. Moller - Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd introduced a Cape of Good Hope network due to the on-going disruptions in the Red Sea.

Gemini’s ambition has always been to return to a Suez-based East-West network once security conditions in the region permit. However, as the safety of crew, vessels and cargo remains our top priority, we currently have no specific timing to change the Gemini East-West network to sailing through the Red Sea.

Considering the Gaza ceasefire progress, we closely monitor developments in the region, and we are continuously conducting detailed security assessments. When security conditions warrant it, and in keeping with the Gemini trademark of industry-leading schedule reliability, Hapag-Lloyd and A.P. Moller - Maersk will carefully coordinate with our respective customers and important stakeholders to ensure an orderly transfer to a Suez-based network with minimal disruption to our customers´ supply chains.

We will keep you updated on the Gemini network should any changes occur.
