🔥10 Must Know from Hapag LLoyd CEO on Q2 and Global Shipping

1️⃣ "I think in the end this year is going to turn out better than many people thought initially."

🏅 Maritime Analytica Insight: Group revenue rose +11% YoY in H1 2025 to $10.6B while volumes jumped +10.6% to 6.7M TEU. Despite geopolitical risks, resilient demand and Gemini efficiencies helped buffer market volatility.


2️⃣ “The network had gotten off to a very successful start, having delivered on its promise of more than 90% schedule reliability.”

🏅 Maritime Analytica Insight: Gemini achieved 92–95% on-time performance across key Asia-Europe and Transpacific lanes. Around 60% of bookings now run on Gemini routes, making Hapag the industry leader in reliability.


3️⃣“But making the switch had cost Hapag-Lloyd a three-digit million-dollar figure.”

🏅 Maritime Analytica Insight: Gemini transition costs exceeded $250M+ in H1, a key driver of the -61% EBIT plunge in Q2 to $189M. Startup expenses and vessel diversions around the Cape of Good Hope are weighing heavily on margins.
