Hapag-Lloyd : résultats du premier trimestre

Hapag-Lloyd finished the first three months of the current financial year with a positive operating result, in spite of higher bunker prices. The transport volume increased by 6.8% year-on-year to more than 1.9 million TEU (prior-year period: 1.8 million TEU). While the average freight rate was USD 20 lower than in the same quarter of the previous year at USD 1,047/TEU, there were further signs of a slight upward curve compared with the past quarters. The greater transport volume and exchange rate effects pushed revenue up by 10.4% to EUR 2.13 billion (prior-year period: EUR 1.93 billion).
