Here at Global Shipping we are constantly striving to provide you with a reliable and up-to-date service, which is why we would like to bring to your attention an important change in the global maritime logistics landscape: the launch of the new Gemini Cooperation alliance between two of the industry’s leading players, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.

What will change?

This strategic collaboration, operational from 2025, aims to create a more efficient, sustainable and punctual transport network with global coverage. The promises are ambitious: 90 per cent punctuality, more frequent departures and optimised routes for an increasingly fluid supply chain.

But what are the most immediate effects?

As is often the case with big changes, we are noticing some criticalities in this initial and transitional phase:

-Delays in ship departures;

-Temporary lack of space on board;

-Misalignments in connections compared to the previous alliance (Maersk – MSC).

What we are doing

Our logistics team is constantly updated on the evolution of the alliance and is working to

-Ensure alternative solutions where needed;

-Maintain the operational continuity of your shipments;

-Offer transparent and timely updates on current or planned shipments

As always, we are by your side during these times of change to help you better manage your shipments.
