The Gemini Cooperation, an operational alliance between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, began on Monday, following delays due to the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) questioning its competitive implications.

The alliance comes after Maersk’s 2M partnership with MSC ends in January 2025. Meanwhile, MSC has entered a slot-sharing agreement with Zim.
