Gemini and Ocean Alliance expand Suez Canal routings
The Gemini Cooperation and Ocean Alliance are making further changes to their East-West networks, with additional services being routed through the Suez Canal, according to DynaLiners.
The Gemini Cooperation, comprising Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, is routing another service via Suez with immediate effect.
The change concerns the Mediterranean-Far East SE4/AE19 service, which will now operate through the Suez Canal.
At the same time, Jeddah will be added to the service in both directions.
Gemini revises SE4/AE19 and SE3/AE15
Under the revised configuration, the SE4/AE19 rotation will be:
Port Said – Tangier – Port Said – Jeddah – Singapore – Tianjin – Qingdao – Busan – Ningbo – Shanghai – Tanjung Pelepas – Jeddah – Port Said.
Gemini is also adding Jeddah to its SE3/AE15 service, although on the westbound leg only.
The revised SE3/AE15 rotation will be:
Port Said – Damietta – Colombo – Singapore – Qingdao – Kwangyang – Ningbo – Tanjung Pelepas – Jeddah – Port Said.
The changes mean another Gemini operation is being routed through the Suez Canal.
Ocean Alliance returns FAL3 eastbound to Suez
Separately, the Ocean Alliance has started routing its CMA CGM-operated North Europe-Far East FAL3 service through the Suez Canal in the eastbound direction.
The Ocean Alliance comprises CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping/OOCL and Evergreen.
Westbound sailings, however, continue to operate via the Cape of Good Hope.
According to DynaLiners, the FAL3 rotation is:
Le Havre – Rotterdam – Hamburg – Antwerp – Tangier – Suez Canal – Port Kelang – Ningbo – Shanghai – Shenzhen (Yantian) – Singapore – Cape of Good Hope – Le Havre.
The latest adjustments add to ongoing changes in East-West service routings, with both Gemini and Ocean Alliance using the Suez Canal on the specified legs while retaining different routing arrangements across their respective networks.
