CMIT Port welcomes Gemini cooperation ship connecting directly to the West Coast of the US

On the morning of February 8, a representative of Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) said that the mother ship Maersk Antares - the first vessel under the Gemini cooperation operating on the TP6/WC1 service route - left CMIT port after completing the loading and unloading of nearly 11,000 TEU of cargo.

The Gemini cooperation between the two shipping lines Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd officially took effect from February 1, 2025.

Mother ship Maersk Antares handles cargo at CMIT port.

Gemini aims to achieve over 90% schedule reliability when the network is fully operational. This places a higher demand on ports to ensure faster cargo handling speeds, allowing ships to enter and leave ports on schedule.

With 14 years of operation, the strength of high and stable handling productivity as well as safe operation are the key factors that help CMIT continue to receive the trust of Maersk and Hapag Lloyd to choose Gemini as their home port in Southern Vietnam. Every week, Gemini deploys two mothership routes and one feeder route at CMIT.

With the support of shareholders APM Terminals, VIMC and Saigon Port, CMIT port has recently invested and received a 7th shore crane to improve its operating capacity, increase loading and unloading productivity and better meet the growing needs of customers.

Currently, CMIT handles cargo for 8 weekly routing services connecting Vietnam with key markets including the Americas, Europe - Mediterranean, Middle East and intra-Asia.

With the support of Gemini and the world's leading shipping lines, CMIT has been and continues to contribute to the overall development of Cai Mep deep-water gateway port and better serve the rapidly growing import-export market in Southern Vietnam.
