Hapag-Lloyd Annual General Meeting Approves Dividend and Re-elections

In a recent Annual General Meeting, shareholders of Hapag-Lloyd AG, a leading global liner shipping company, approved all agenda items, including a significant dividend payout and executive re-elections. The meeting aligned with the company's strong financial performance in 2023, leading to a dividend distribution of EUR 9.25 per share.

The AGM also resulted in the re-election of Michael Behrendt as a shareholder representative and chairman of the Supervisory Board, a position he has held since 2014. Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd, expressed satisfaction with the company's past success and optimism towards executing their Strategy 2030, which includes substantial sustainability and quality service goals.

Despite a positive outlook, the forecast for 2024 reflects anticipated EBITDA ranging from USD 1.1 to 3.3 billion, overshadowed by uncertainties due to volatile freight rates and geopolitical issues.
