Closing remarks

Current spot rates reflect recent freight rate increases by various carriers

Shanghai – Latin America (SCFI)

Comments

• Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) only reflects Shanghai outbound rate development
• Freight rates especially on Asia / Europe trade remain volatile
• Freight rates on Transpacific trade tend to be less volatile while freight rates on Latin America show a downward trend
• Hapag-Lloyd freight rates with more stable development

* Hapag-Lloyd trade definition

Our Way Forward – Further improvements expected from our existing initiatives

Well-balanced exposure to global trade with strong position in attractive markets and niche businesses

Imbalances: Hapag-Lloyd outperforms the market

1) This ratio reflects the imbalance in the market (industry average) vs. Hapag-Lloyd imbalance of transport volumes (the higher the ratio, the more balanced in both directions). Ratio has been rounded
