🔥Greetings Maritime Mavericks,

Hapag-Lloyd has just released its preliminary 2025 results.

For two years, pandemic disruptions and the Red Sea crisis artificially tightened capacity, protecting freight rates and sustaining extraordinary earnings across the industry.

It seems that protection is now fading.

Hapag-Lloyd’s latest results reveal the true mechanics of shipping cycles: volumes remain strong, ships are full — but pricing power is resetting.

And when rates normalize, profits compress far faster than expected.

This is not a demand crisis. This is the structural reset of the shipping cycle.

  • 🏗️ First signal: Volumes rose — but earnings fell

  • 📉 Profit reset: Small rate decline, massive earnings impact

  • ⚠️ Q4 vs Q4: Reset accelerated sharply

  • ⚓ Now compare with Maersk: Same cycle, same direction

  • 📊 Pricing power comparison reveals positioning differences

  • 🧠 The most important conclusion: This is not a demand crisis

  • 🚨 The industry has entered a new competitive phase

  • 🏅 Maritime Analytica Insight

Ready? Let’s dive in…
