Red Sea / Gulf of Aden situation

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.

Yes, we offer Maersk Cargo Insurance . Customers can benefit from our insurance policy that covers most types of cargo, from warehouse-to-warehouse with greater ease of not just buying it but also processing it. Maersk Cargo Insurance offers sought-after comprehensive ‘all-risk’ insurance coverage for loss or damage to their cargo, getting first-party cargo insurance coverage that responds to losses without the need to prove carrier negligence, enabling more efficient claims settlement.

We have contingency plans ready which can be activated with short notice. Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd will continue to monitor the security situation in the Middle East region very closely, and any alteration to the Gemini service will remain dependent on the ongoing stability in the Red Sea area and the absence of any escalation in conflicts in the region.

The safety of crew, assets, and customers’ cargo remains the highest priority.
