Hapag-Lloyd is a Hamburg-based container shipping line and one of the world's leading ocean carriers. The company traces its roots to two historic German shipping firms – the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG) and the Norddeutscher Lloyd – which merged to form Hapag-Lloyd in 1970. Its fleet operates on a global route network, with particular focus on Asia–Europe, transpacific, and transatlantic trade lanes. Freight forwarders rely on the carrier for reliable sailing schedules and broad port coverage that extends to secondary ports.
