APM Terminals and Hapag-Lloyd partner to drive future growth at Maasvlakte II terminal at Rotterdam. * By Maritime Magazine * 2026-08-19 Hapag-Lloyd has signed an agreement with APM Terminals to acquire a 25% stake in APM Terminals Maasvlakte II B.V. As partners, both companies will support the terminal's continued development, capacity expansion and operational performance. The investment also underlines the importance of Maasvlakte II as a key European hub for the Gemini Cooperation between Hapag-Lloyd and A.P. Moller - Maersk. Financial details were not disclosed. With the transaction, Hapag-Lloyd will secure long-term automated terminal handling capacity and strengthen its worldwide terminal presence, under its Terminals and Infrastructure division Hanseatic Global Terminals. APM Terminals will retain operational control of Maasvlakte II. "With the planned investment in Rotterdam, we will further enhance the efficiency and reliability of our network. The terminal is a key element for Gemini Cooperation and fits well with our strategy to build a stronger terminal portfolio in core markets," said Dheeraj Bhatia, CTIO of Hapag-Lloyd AG and CEO of Hanseatic Global Terminals. APM Terminals Maasvlakte II, which has been operational since 2015, is currently undergoing a major expansion to further strengthen its role as a key European gateway. The expansion includes additional 1,000 meters of deep-sea berth, bringing the total deep-sea berth length to 2,000 meters, as well as additional yard capacity, four extra rail tracks and the deployment of Automated Terminal Tractors (ATTs) and additional automated equipment. In the new configuration, the terminal is expected to grow towards an annual handling capacity of 5.4 million TEU, further enhancing Maasvlakte II's operational resilience and ability to support future cargo flows through Rotterdam.

Hapag-Lloyd's $4.2 billion ZIM acquisition faces hurdles. August 16, 2026 Hapag-Lloyd's $4.2 billion acquisition of ZIM faces regulatory challenges in Israel, raising concerns over strategic shipping independence. German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd's proposed $4.2 billion acquisition of Israeli carrier ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is facing growing regulatory resistance in Israel. A decision-making meeting between eight government agencies, initially scheduled earlier, has been pushed to 9 September. Most agencies are expected to object to the deal, creating significant uncertainty for the merger. Hapag-Lloyd announced its plans in February, offering $35 per ZIM share, valuing the deal at $4.2 billion. If approved, the merger would create a combined fleet of over 400 vessels, handling more than 18 million TEUs annually, significantly expanding Hapag-Lloyd's global footprint. ZIM shareholders approved the deal in April, with completion anticipated by the end of 2026, contingent on regulatory approval. However, challenges within Israel remain a major obstacle. Regulators in Israel are less concerned about selling ZIM and more focused on maintaining the country's strategic shipping independence. Under the deal, Hapag-Lloyd would acquire ZIM's international operations, while a new Israeli shipping company - dubbed 'new ZIM' - would focus on domestic markets. The new ZIM, managed by Israeli investment firm FIMI, would operate 16 vessels and start debt-free. Hapag-Lloyd also pledged to create 200 local jobs and establish a technology center with 250-300 employees, offering 10 years of employment guarantees. Despite these commitments, Israeli authorities remain skeptical. The Shipping and Ports Authority warns that the new ZIM could become overly reliant on Hapag-Lloyd for international routes, vessel capacity, and infrastructure. Regulators fear the promised independence of the new ZIM may exist only on paper. A central issue is the Israeli government's 'golden share,' which safeguards national interests in strategic shipping operations. Under the proposed terms, the golden share would transfer to the new ZIM. However, regulators question whether the smaller, dependent new ZIM can effectively meet Israel's strategic needs. Hapag-Lloyd, FIMI, and ZIM have submitted 600 pages addressing 120 regulatory concerns. Ministries of Defence, Economy, Agriculture, and Transport have already opposed the deal, while others will finalize their opinions by 9 September. The decision will determine whether the merger advances or requires major restructuring, potentially altering the deal's trajectory.
Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM launch new Asia-South America East Coast service.

The new Asia-South America East Coast service (AS3) is scheduled to begin in September 2026. The jointly operated service will connect several major Chinese gateways with key Brazilian ports. AS3 to offer weekly Asia-Brazil connections. According to Hapag-Lloyd, the AS3 will provide weekly connections between major Asian and Brazilian ports. The service will offer extensive coverage in China, including gateways in Central and South China. In Brazil, it will call at Rio Grande, Paranaguá, Itajaí, Santos and Rio de Janeiro. Hapag-Lloyd said the service will also provide connections to River Plate ports via Rio Grande. The AS3 port rotation will be: Shanghai - Ningbo - Xiamen - Hong Kong - Yantian - Rio Grande - Paranaguá - Itajaí - Santos - Rio de Janeiro The first westbound departure from Shanghai is scheduled for 14 September 2026, while the first eastbound departure from Rio Grande is planned for 21 October 2026. Existing services remain unchanged. Hapag-Lloyd noted that its existing AS2 and ASE services between Asia and the East Coast of South America will remain unchanged following the introduction of AS3.
Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd reported strong second-quarter results driven by resilient demand and rising freight rates, but both carriers warned that port infrastructure is struggling to keep pace with cargo volumes. Maersk's revenue jumped 20 percent year-over-year to $15.8 billion, with freight rates increasing 22 percent to $2,746 per 40-foot container. CEO Vincent Clerc said infrastructure is "stretched to the maximum" and called landside operations "underinvested". Hapag-Lloyd's revenue rose 11 percent to $5.8 billion, with average freight rates climbing 9 percent to $1,475 per TEU. Both carriers raised their full-year earnings guidance, with Maersk now expecting EBIT of $4.5 billion to $6.5 billion. Volume increased 4.1 percent at Maersk and 3.5 percent at Hapag-Lloyd, whilst bottlenecks shift from ships to ports and terminals.
