Hapag-Lloyd has announced the opening of a new office in Romania. The new office is located in Bucharest, the country’s capital and economic hub, and consists of 21 staff members.
The German shipping company said Romania is an important hub for container traffic in the Black Sea region, as it offers direct access to Central, Eastern and Northwestern European countries via the Danube-Black Sea Canal and the port of Constanța.
Hapag-Lloyd currently offers one direct weekly service to and from the port of Constanța.
“Romania is an attractive growth market with an important port and good hinterland connection via road and rail,” commented Juan Pablo Richards, senior managing director of Region South Europe at Hapag-Lloyd.
He added, “This new office in the capital Bucharest aligns with our strategy to grow in key markets. We are very pleased to open an own office in this strategically significant location, which will allow us to serve our customers even better in the Black Sea area and beyond.”
