Why are Maersk and Hapag-Llyod returning to Trans-Suez routing only with one service?
At the launch of the Gemini Cooperation, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd stated it was the ambition to implement a trans-Suez network once it is considered safe to do so.
For now, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd are only implementing a structural change to the ME11. The structural change of the ME11 is an important step in implementing a trans-Suez network for Gemini.
When possible, Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk will also implement changes to AE12 and AE15 services to go through Red Sea and the Suez Canal at a later stage. In this respect, further information to customers and other relevant stakeholders will follow in due course. No further changes to the Gemini network related to the Red Sea are foreseen at this stage.
