Rolf Habben Jansen said it was “difficult to judge” how much of the high container demand is due to front-loading of cargo ahead of a second Trump term.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Hapag-Lloyd's CEO said on Thursday he expects continued strength in container shipping volumes, which are driven by global demand for transporting goods and seen as a proxy for trade and a health barometer for the world economy.

The German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd says it has made a good profit so far this year, despite the economic downturn and several international crises. The company reported in Hamburg on Thursday that it had made around €1.

All 24 ships will have dual-fuel engines that can run on LNG and biomethane, and will be equipped for ammonia fuel as well.
