Hapag-Lloyd: Cancel JCS route from Asia to Latin America from February next year
Sunny Worldwide Logistics is a logistics company with more than 20 years of transportation experience, specializing in markets such as Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Southeast Asia. It is more of a cargo owner than a cargo owner~
German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd will shut down JCS services at the end of February 2025 as it chooses to deploy its ships on one of the Gemini services. The route is operated jointly with CMA CGM (CMACGM) and COSCO Shipping Lines (known as PEX2 and CAX1 respectively) as part of THE Alliance.
Hapag-Lloyd is expected to choose to deploy its 10,000 teu Seaspan Zambezi containership on one of Gemini’s Asia-Caribbean routes, which will be partnered with Maersk in February as part of the Gemini tie-up in February 2025.
The eastbound connection will be covered by the new US2 service (Maersk's TP12), which has two stops in Cartagena. The Colombian port will also be part of the westbound route on the new US3 route (Maersk's TP15).
The Gemini Alliance is prioritizing mainline calls at hubs where one of the two partners has an operating stake in the terminal. APM Terminals, a subsidiary of Maersk, holds a 51% stake in the Cartagena Container Terminal.
