Hapag-Lloyd sees difficult waters: red numbers possible. 2022 was the best year in the company's history due to the consequences of the pandemic on supply chains.
Now the situation has normalized, the shipping company recorded the third-best result ever in 2023. Earnings before taxes and interest (EBIT) will range from minus 1 to plus 1 billion euros in the current year. Only after 2025 and 2026 “will we hopefully return to a normal situation,” says CEO Rolf Habben Jansen.
