Haivanship Proudly Assists Hapag-Lloyd’s First Vessel under the Gemini Cooperation at CMIT Terminal

On March 17, 2024, Haivanship (HVS) had the honor of assisting the first vessel operated by Hapag-Lloyd under the newly established Gemini Cooperation, marking a significant milestone in Vietnam’s maritime industry. The vessel, MV Al Jasrah, successfully berthed at Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT), Ba Ria – Vung Tau province, with professional tugboat services provided by Haivanship’s skilled fleet.

About MV Al Jasrah and Gemini Cooperation:
MV Al Jasrah, operating under Hapag-Lloyd, is a large-scale container ship with a remarkable capacity of approximately 14,993 TEU. This vessel is part of the Gemini Cooperation – a strategic alliance between Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk, aimed at providing more reliable, efficient, and sustainable global shipping solutions starting in 2025. The successful berthing of MV Al Jasrah at CMIT is the first step in demonstrating the commitment of the Gemini network to the Southeast Asian market, especially Vietnam.

Haivanship’s Role in the Operation:
Haivanship dispatched its top-performing tugboat fleet and experienced crews to handle the delicate operation:

  • Pre-arrival coordination: Thorough preparation with CMIT and the vessel's captain to ensure smooth berthing procedures.

  • High-precision tugboat maneuvers: Haivanship tugboats provided strong yet precise pushing and pulling forces, ensuring the vessel docked safely despite its massive size and the terminal’s busy schedule.

  • On-time berthing: Thanks to the seamless collaboration and Haivanship’s 24/7 readiness, MV Al Jasrah berthed safely and efficiently without delay, reflecting international standards in port operation.
