The German container transportation sector operated 6.7 million TEUs in the first six months of the year, up 11 percent since 2024, reaching $ 10.4 billion. The transportation rate is about $ 1,400 per TEU, which is supported by growth on the main East and West routes.
Rolf Habben Jansen CEO highlighted the company’s resistance:
“In a unstable market, we have significantly increased our transportation volume and finished the first half with a strong note. Our Gemini network has been successful and sets new standards in program reliability.”
In February with Maersk, Gemini’s collaborations in the first months achieved 90 % of the program’s reliability in East and West key transactions. Network optimization is expected to continue until the second half of the year.
The terminal and infrastructure sector of the Hapa-Lid has also grown, with the EBITDA reached $ 79 million and $ 37 million EBIT. In March, the company expanded its European footprint by acquiring a majority of shares at CNMP LH in Lehavre, France.
For 2025, Hapag-Lloyd EBITDA group forecasts from $ 2.8 billion and EBIT from $ 0.25 to $ 1.25 billion, but warns that geopolitical stresses and unstable transport can affect results.
“In the second half, we will focus on quality, growth and cost optimization.” Habben Jansen said. “Our goal is to help customers use uncertainty, and we hope that new business agreements will bring more supply chain forecasts.”
