Vancouver

Prince Rupert

Prince Rupert Port, located in the north of the west coast of Canada, has developed rapidly in recent years and has gradually become another important node connecting the Asian market with the inland areas of North America. With its excellent location-close proximity to major Asian ports and rail lines to Direct's Midwestern US market-Prince Rupert is able to effectively reduce cargo transit times and reduce costs. With the implementation of the Gemini project, it will further expand its support for Asian routes and help more goods quickly enter the North American market.

St. John

Located in the province of New Brunswick in eastern Canada, St. John is an important port city on the Atlantic coast. It not only serves the local economy, but also undertakes the task of connecting the maritime trade between North America and Europe, especially the Nordic countries. With the help of the stable route arrangement provided by Gemini, St. John's Port will better serve freighters traveling between North America and Northern Europe, ensuring that goods can reach their destinations on time.

In addition, Gemini promises to achieve more than 90% on-time vessel punctuality and provide reliable service guarantees across the entire DP World Canada network. This means that both importers and exporters will benefit from it and enjoy faster and more stable supply chain support. Taken together, this partnership marks the commitment of DP World Canadian Branch and its partners to build a more connected and efficient global logistics system to meet the growing demand of International.
