Alliance maritime : divorce et remariage en 2025

Stategic Realignment of Maritime Alliances in 2025 : HAPAG Joins MAERSK to Form “The Gemini Cooperation”

Maritime alliances play a crucial role in the shipping industry, bringing together multiple carriers to optimize their operations on key trade routes worldwide. These cooperation agreements allow members to combine their strengths to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and provide broader coverage to their customers.

In 2025, the landscape of maritime alliances will undergo a significant transformation. HAPAG, one of the major players in the industry, has announced its departure from “THE Alliance,” to which it has been affiliated until now. This separation will take effect in January 2025, marking the end of a strategic collaboration spanning several years.

As part of a strategic repositioning, HAPAG will partner with MAERSK, another leading figure in maritime transport, to create a new alliance: “The Gemini Cooperation.” This new entity will be established in February 2025 and is set to redefine the dynamics of global maritime transport. The objective of “The Gemini Cooperation” will be to enhance the competitiveness of its members on key trade routes while offering greater flexibility and optimized services to their respective clients.

This realignment of alliances reflects current industry trends, where players are continuously seeking to adapt to an increasingly complex and competitive environment. The formation of “The Gemini Cooperation” is seen as a strategic response to emerging industry challenges, particularly in sustainability, digitalization, and operational efficiency.

Container Transport development, News, Our business is evolving

Transfert par container d'une ligne de production vers le Brésil

🚢 Off to Brazil

Our mission : the complete dismanting and transfer of a production line to Brazil!

📅 A look back at this project, which began just over a year ago, with the major challenge of complying with various packaging, customs, maritime and land standards.

Our SOTECAN INTERNATIONAL entity took on the complete management of the project:
✅ Case packing 📦 in compliance with “ISPM15” standards,
✅ Overland transport 🚛 with part in Category 1 exceptional convoy
✅ Customs formalities 📄
✅ Sea transport 🚢 with a 40’HC container, but also a FLAT RACK container to the port of ITAPOA in Brazil.

Mission accomplished 👍 The containers, which left from 📍 Le Havre, are currently sailing for 📍 Brazil !

✨ Congratulations to all our 🤝 Coué-TRM-SOTECAN teams, who successfully met the challenge despite all the specificities of the dossier.

📅 At the start of the 2024 school year, a factory in Brazil will be operating with a production line transported by our various entities.

Why choose FCA incoterm over EXW incoterm ?

Développement Overseas, News, Our business is evolving, Overseas development

The EXW 2020 incoterm is considered unsuitable for international trade, as it poses 2 major questions:

The seller must recover the EXA in the outbound ECS, which corresponds to the customs declaration to justify the sale before tax. This is not always easy without a privileged relationship with the customs declarant
The EXW incoterm does not reflect the logistical reality in France. The FCA incoterm clarifies the transfer of responsibility and remedies this shortcoming by clearly indicating that the seller is responsible for loading his goods.

Do you sell FCA? Did you know that you can choose your customs declarant?
