Hapag-Lloyd AG shareholders have approved all agenda items put to a vote at the company’s annual general meeting, including the appropriation of net profit and the payment of a dividend of EUR 3.00 per share.
“2025 was a good year for Hapag-Lloyd. We increased our transport volumes well beyond market growth and achieved solid results despite lower freight rates and higher operational costs. For this reason, we are very pleased to be able to pay out a dividend once again to our shareholders. At the same time, we have vigorously pressed ahead with our strategic agenda: with record levels of schedule reliability and customer satisfaction, a further modernized fleet, and the targeted expansion of our Hanseatic Global Terminals portfolio” said Rolf Habben Jansen, chief executive officer, Hapag-Lloyd AG.
Shareholders also approved the election of Karl Gernandt and Macario Valdés Raczynski to the supervisory board as shareholder representatives. Gernandt is chairman of the board of directors of Kühne Holding AG and managing director of Kühne Maritime GmbH.
He has served on the supervisory board of Hapag-Lloyd AG since 2009 and assumed its chairmanship on February 26, 2026. Valdés Raczynski is chief executive officer of Quiñenco S.A. and has been a supervisory board member since February 13, 2026.
“I am very pleased with the election result and the trust of our shareholders. It sends a strong signal of continuity and stability on the supervisory board. This will allow us to seamlessly continue the close cooperation of recent years while providing constructive support to the executive board in driving Hapag-Lloyd’s successful growth trajectory forward” said Karl Gernandt, chairman of the supervisory board, Hapag-Lloyd AG.
