At their annual general meeting, shareholders of Hapag-Lloyd AG approved all resolutions put to a vote, including the payment of a dividend of 3 euros per share. The company noted that 2025 was a successful year for the carrier; transport volumes grew significantly faster than market averages, and financial results remained stable despite a decline in freight rates and rising operating costs.
Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen stated that the company continued to execute its strategic projects, achieving record levels of schedule reliability and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the carrier modernized its fleet and expanded the portfolio of its terminal business, Hanseatic Global Terminals. According to him, these actions enabled Hapag-Lloyd to strengthen its position in the global container shipping market.
During the meeting, shareholders also re-elected Karl Gernandt and elected Macario Valdés Raczynski as shareholder representatives to the company’s Supervisory Board. Karl Gernandt, who heads the Board of Directors of Kühne Holding AG, has served as Chairman of Hapag-Lloyd’s Supervisory Board since February 2026. He emphasized that the voting results demonstrate the shareholders’ confidence and will ensure stability in the company’s future operations and the execution of its growth strategy.
