DP World and Gemini Cooperation, the new alliance between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, will launch a new partnership to enhance cargo operations throughout Canada.
Beginning in February 2025, DP World will introduce several new container services at its terminals at the Port of Vancouver, Port of Prince Rupert and Port Saint John. The agreement with the new Gemini Cooperation will allow DP World to present additional options for cargo loading and discharge in the three Canadian regions.
This collaboration aims to strengthen trade connections between Asia, Europe, and North America, while Vancouver and Prince Rupert will handle key shipping services to and from Asia and Saint John will manage services connecting to Northern Europe.
Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada, stated: “This partnership with Gemini Cooperation reaffirms our vision of enabling smarter trade and bolstering the resilience of global supply chains. By uniting the strengths of DP World’s Canadian terminal network with the innovative approach of Gemini Cooperation, we are paving the way for seamless and reliable connections between Asia, Europe, and North America.”
The Gemini Cooperation, which launches in February 2025, aims to deliver a fast, flexible and interconnected ocean network and achieve 90% on-time vessel arrivals, delivering dependable service across DP World’s Canadian gateways.
DP World continues to strengthen Canada’s role in facilitating global trade. The company recently welcomed two additional cranes to Port Saint John, enhancing its container handling capacity and increasing operational efficiency, and continues to expand its terminal at the Port of Vancouver.
