The Gemini Network is showing early signs of delivering on its promise: bringing greater reliability to global liner shipping. In its first months of operation the Gemini Cooperation recorded an impressive schedule reliability across all alliance port calls above 90 %. Gemini is setting a new benchmark for schedule reliability in an industry where consistency has long been a challenge.
Henrik Schilling, Head of Global Commercial Development.
"For Hapag-Lloyd, these results are also a reflection of our ongoing commitment to delivering on our quality promise. Being significantly more punctual than the market average is not just an operational achievement — it’s part of what defines us. This performance supports what we stand for: We are the undisputed Number One for Quality."
Gemini Cooperation will cover seven trades and offer 57 services including mainliner and dedicated shuttle services, complemented by feeder services. The fleet of our new partnership will consist of around 340 modern and efficient vessels, many ready to adopt cleaner fuels, with a total standing capacity of ~3.7 million.
