REUTERS reports:

German container liner Hapag-Lloyd (HLAG.DE) sees great opportunity in India where containerisation levels are still low, chief executive Rolf Habben Jansen told reporters on Thursday.

Having accompanied German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on a recent visit, he came away with optimism, Habben Jansen said at an earnings press conference.

“We are certainly committed to that market…it is going to grow faster than average and if you want to grow in a market, it is important to have a good position there,” he said.
