Good to know

Hapag-Lloyd, in a few facts

  • Traces to 1847 and the great German emigrant lines; the modern company has absorbed CP Ships, CSAV and the entire UASC fleet, flagship Barzan included.
  • Its unmistakable orange hulls are among the most recognisable liveries at sea.
  • Co-founded the Gemini Cooperation with Maersk in 2025, reorganising the east–west trades around hub-and-spoke reliability.
