Gemini Cooperation, a new alliance of Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, has announced that it will start accepting bookings in early December.
The new container shipping alliance will launch operations in February 2025, but the two partners announced that they will open their bookings on 3 December.
Gemini Cooperation confirmed earlier in the year that it will start operations with the Cape of Good Hope service network. In early September, the new alliance presented two alternative options: Trans-Suez Network and Cape of Good Hope Network. With the Red Sea crisis still ongoing, the two partners have decided to proceed with the Cape of Good Hope network in the first period of their cooperation.
