This new measure is part of Hapag-Lloyd’s strategy to manage the increased shipment volumes from Asia to Africa during the peak season.

With this step, Hapag-Lloyd reaffirms its commitment to supporting trade volumes in the region and continuing to manage logistics processes more effectively. These additional charges are expected to help balance the company’s operational costs and maintain service quality.
