Dear Customer,
Hapag Lloyd has issued the following update to the industry:
Today, Hapag-Lloyd signed an agreement with ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd., the world’s 10th largest container shipping line, under which Hapag-Lloyd will acquire 100% of ZIM’s shares. The completion of the envisaged transaction is subject, among others, to approval by ZIM's shareholders and the relevant regulatory authorities.
Once the merger is closed, we aim to build a stronger, more seamless network and intend to operate a modern fleet of over 400 vessels with a capacity exceeding 3 million TEU – further reinforcing Hapag-Lloyd's position as one of the world’s leading container shipping companies. Together with ZIM, we plan to expand in attractive growth markets and enhance our services across key global trades – including Transpacific, Intra Asia, Atlantic, Latin America, and East Mediterranean.
Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM will remain competitors and will take a business-as-usual approach until the closing of the transaction, currently expected for end of 2026.
Please reach out to your Hensall Global representative should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS |
