Hapag-Lloyd Invests in Strategic Gateway Infrastructure
Hapag-Lloyd’s terminal arm, Hanseatic Global Terminals (HGT), is investing in strategic gateway infrastructure, agreeing to acquire a 20% stake in Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) and doubling its holding in Morocco’s TC3 terminal at Tangier Med from 10% to 20%.
Significant Foothold in Hamburg
The Hamburg deal gives Hapag-Lloyd a significant foothold in a second container terminal in its home port. The carrier already owns 25.1% of HHLA’s Container Terminal Altenwerder, meaning it will now have interests in two of Hamburg’s four major container terminals.
Increasing Stake in Tangier Med
At the same time, HGT is increasing its stake in the TC3 terminal at Tangier Med to 20%, reinforcing its position at one of the Mediterranean’s most important transhipment hubs and a key node in east-west container trades.
Benefits of the Deal
- Increased control over terminal operations
- Improved efficiency and productivity
- Enhanced customer service
