Development of Hamburg Süd

In an environment characterized by strong fluctuations, the Hamburg Süd Group succeeded in significantly increasing its total turnover by 16.8 percent to 6,058 million euros. The main drivers were the successful takeover and integration of the container operations of the Chilean shipping company Compañía Chilena de Navegación Interoceánica S.A. (CCNI) in late March 2015 as well as the entry into the East–West trade lanes.
