Hapag Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen optimistic for the future
“In this nine-month period, we have achieved a good result and strictly managed our costs while at the same time benefiting from improved market conditions in the third quarter.
However, with its increasing number of cases worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose high risks to the logistics industry and the supply chains of our customers.
We will stick to our present course, continue to implement our Strategy 2023, and keep a close eye on the well-being of our employees, the needs of our customers and our operating cost,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd
