Impact of U.S. Trade Policy: Hapag-Lloyd's CEO Rolf Habben Jansen highlighted that the company's operations are significantly affected by U.S. trade policies, as a large portion of their cargo volume is tied to the U.S. market.
Proportion of U.S. Cargo: Approximately 22% of global container freight and 27% of Hapag-Lloyd's own cargo volume is linked to the United States, making U.S. tariffs particularly challenging for the company.
