EUROGATE Container Terminals: Key partner in the success of the “Twin” alliance

EUROGATE Container Terminals: Key partner in the success of the “Twin” alliance

 

Since February this year, the "Twin Stars" alliance jointly formed by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd has officially started operations, ushering in a new pattern for the global shipping market. The alliance adopts a "hub and spoke" model and deploys 12 core hub ports around the world, aiming to optimize the route network, increase the liner punctuality rate to more than 90%, and set a new benchmark for global liner operations.

 

EUROGATE's four major ports - Wilhelmshaven, Germany, Bremerhaven, Germany, Tangier, Morocco, and (after the Red Sea traffic is restored) Damietta, Egypt, have been successfully selected as the core hub ports of the "Twin Stars". These hubs not only undertake the loading and unloading operations of many main routes of the "Twin Stars" alliance, but also undertake efficient and timely transshipment responsibilities, becoming the key fulcrum for the stable and efficient operation of the new alliance's global network.

 

Especially in Germany, the "Twin Star" Alliance's Asia-Europe trunk lines all choose to call at EUROGATE's terminals, including:

 

AE1/NE2 route: EUROGATE Hamburg Container Terminal (CTH)

 

AE2/NE1 route: EUROGATE Wilhelmshaven Container Terminal (CTW) and Bremerhaven North Sea Terminal (NTB)

 

AE5/NE4 route: EUROGATE Hamburg Container Terminal (CTH) and Bremerhaven North Sea Terminal (NTB)

 

These three routes connect China's four major ports of Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo and Yantian. Containers can also be transferred to Dalian, Tianjin, Xiamen, Nansha and many other ports in the Far East through Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas, building a wide-ranging shipping network.

 

Taking EUROGATE Wilhelmshaven Container Terminal as an example, the port has the key conditions to become a "twin star" core hub, including:

· Deep-water port advantage, 24,000+TEU ships fully loaded without draft restrictions

· Modern terminal equipment and sufficient yard

· Efficient and flexible terminal operation capabilities

 

· Smooth connection of various transshipment methods including sub-ships, railways and container trucks in the port area

 

 

 

Efficient and reliable ports play a key role in the success of the "Twin Star" Alliance. With its professional management capabilities and extensive network layout, EUROGATE has become an important partner of the alliance in Europe. Ports and shipping companies work closely together to ensure the smooth operation of global trade.
