Hapag-Lloyd AG is a leading global container liner shipping company that facilitates international trade through maritime and inland transportation services. The company operates primarily through two business segments: Liner Shipping and Terminal & Infrastructure. The Liner Shipping segment, which accounts for the vast majority of the group's revenue (generating $19.2 billion in 2023), encompasses the transportation of dry cargo, reefer cargo, dangerous goods, and special cargo across major global trade routes including the Atlantic, Transpacific, Far East, Middle East, and Latin America. The newly formed Terminal & Infrastructure segment (generating $202 million in 2023) includes equity stakes in various terminal operations globally, enhancing the company's control over its supply chain and port logistics. Hapag-Lloyd operates a fleet of over 250 modern container ships with a total capacity exceeding 1.8 million TEU. The company's competitive position is bolstered by its membership in major shipping alliances and its extensive global network of sales offices and inland transport connections via truck, rail, and barge.
