HAMBURG : Hapag-Lloyd, the world’s fifth-largest container shipping carrier, has reached a significant milestone in its storied history. Founded in 1847, the company has taken delivery of its 300th chartered vessel, marking the largest fleet size in its history.
The milestone vessel, a 24,480-dwt ship chartered from Reederei NORD Group, joins Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet alongside its sister ships, Nordbaltic and Nordpuma. Although not the largest vessel in the fleet, it represents an important addition.
