"We are aware - said the general manager of TCTenerife, José Ignacio Uriarte - that next year some of large maritime groups will adapt their routes international partnerships, as could happen with the operational partnership between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, known as Gemini Cooperation, which will be focused on a global network of own terminals or in key. However - he underlined - at TCTenerife we continue to negotiate for our concession to be strengthened as a landing point for several international routes between Europe, Africa and America".
