Bundling of a portfolio of 20 container terminals in 11 countries
Effective from today 1 July, Hapag-Lloyd’s Terminal and Infrastructure division will adopt a new brand name to reflect its forward-looking growth ambitions and deep-rooted maritime tradition:
Hanseatic Global Terminals.
Hanseatic Global Terminals is based in Rotterdam and commenced operations in June 2023 as a fully owned but independent stand-alone business unit. Inspired by the “Hanseatic League”, a historic association of seafaring merchants in Northern Europe, the brand name emphasises the company’s commitment to quality and expansive terminal operations. With the strategic rebranding, Hanseatic Global Terminals aims to increase operational efficiency and promote sustainable growth that will benefit customers and partners worldwide.
