Amid the evolving security situation in the Middle East, including the official closure of the Strait of Hormuz (SOH) by relevant authorities, Hapag-Lloyd is suspending all vessel transits through the waterway until further notice
The safety and security of our crews, vessels, and your cargo are our top priorities. This measure is not discretionary, but rather a necessary response to current conditions and regulatory restrictions.
As a result, services calling ports in the Arabian Gulf may experience delays. They may also experience rerouting. Services may also experience schedule adjustments. Hapag-Lloyd customers with cargo already in transit or with planned shipments to or from the region are encouraged to contact their local representative for guidance specific to their shipment
Hapag-Lloyd is a major German international shipping and container transportation company. Ranked as one of the largest ocean carriers in the world, it specializes in moving cargo globally using a massive fleet of container ships and reefers (refrigerated containers)
