Ladies and gentlemen, HHLA has successfully navigated its way through a challenging financial year.
We supply Germany and Europe! Our customers and consumers could also rely on this throughout the pandemic year.
Moreover, we maintained the health and safety of our employees and ensured their job security.
Due to the pandemic, there were declining volumes in both container throughput and container transport.
Nevertheless, we achieved a positive result thanks to the joint efforts of the entire Group.
Regardless of the current situation, the market and our customers will continue to evolve.
We see this as a clear challenge for us to evolve as well.
What’s more, we will actively shape this evolution.
That is why we are investing in promising markets and business fields.
We have acquired majority stakes in a multi-functional terminal in Trieste as well as in a specialist for automation technology – to name just two examples.
In order to secure the performance of our core business, we are systematically implementing a programme to increase our efficiency.
HHLA has become significantly more digital over the past months.
We will continue to drive this transformation in future with a variety of projects.
Ladies and gentlemen, HHLA continues to position itself for the future.
2021 is a year of confidence. We will therefore work hard to ensure the sustainable economic success of HHLA.
