DP World announced a new partnership with the Gemini Cooperation to bolster cargo operations across Canada.
Starting in February 2025, DP World will introduce new container services in Vancouver, Prince Rupert, and Saint John terminals. This initiative will provide additional cargo loading and discharge options, improving reliability and efficiency.
According to the statement, West Coast ports Vancouver and Prince Rupert will handle key shipping services to and from Asia, while Saint John on the East Coast will manage services connecting to Northern Europe.
“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,” said Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada
By leveraging its network of terminals, DP World aims to provide greater resilience in the event of disruptions, ensuring more predictable schedules and reduced disruptions for customers.
The Gemini Cooperation, a collaboration between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, aims to achieve 90% on-time vessel arrivals once fully phased in. With ports being a significant source of disruptions, the alliance relies on its partnerships with terminals to accomplish this promise.
