DP World Southampton handles first Gemini vessel

DP World Southampton has received its first ship arrival under the Gemini Cooperation agreement announced in November last year.

The 2014-built boxship Leonidio docked at the Southampton logistics hub on 3 February as part of its first rotation on the Gemini Transatlantic AL1/AT3 service, and will continue at the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Wilhelmshaven in Northern Europe before crossing the Atlantic to dock at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Saint John in the United States and Canada.

As part of Gemini’s partnership with DP World, all of the Maersk/Hapag-Lloyd alliance’s Middle East-Europe and Asia-Europe services will now be handled at London Gateway, alongside their Transatlantic services at Southampton. The first Gemini vessel on the Asia-Europe service will call at London Gateway in the coming weeks.

Cameron Bowie, Managing Director – Hapag-Lloyd UK & Ireland, reminded the main goal of the Gemini Cooperation. “Our goal is ambitious yet clear: to achieve industry-leading reliability of over 90% by summer 2025. The success of Gemini depends on more than ships and schedules,” he highlighted.
