First run of the “Los Angeles Express”

18.02.2026

WILHELMSHAVEN. On January 24, the Los Angeles Express, a ship belonging to Gemini Corporation’s Indian Ocean Service (IOS), docked at the Eurogate Container Terminal in Wilhelmshaven for the first time. However, the date is special for two reasons: exactly one year ago, the Kawa Ningbo, a ship belonging to the China-Europe Express (CEX), docked at Germany’s only deep-water port for the first time. “With the first call of the ‘Los Angeles Express’ in Wilhelmshaven, we are delighted to officially include the port in our Indian Ocean Service. This makes Wilhelmshaven an important and reliable gateway for Northern and Central Europe,” said Marc-Simon Vick, Managing Director Area Germany at Hapag-Lloyd.
