Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd AG, said: “With this quarterly result, we have gotten 2025 off to a good start.
“We have achieved the targeted high schedule reliability. The situation in the Red Sea and the impact of global tariffs and trade policies continue to be causes for concern. We will continue to implement our Strategy 2030, vigorously focus on our costs and target additional savings of more than $1 billion within the next 18 months.”
