About
For almost 125 years, we have shared stories, milestones and messages through our employee publications – each capturing the spirit of its era. What once began as fleet news and printed orders has grown into a living tradition that connects people across oceans and generations. Today, this tradition lives on in the digital realm: dynamic, interactive and open to everyone both at Hapag-Lloyd and beyond. With the digital Logbook, our shared journey continues – where history meets innovation and the next chapter is already being written.
In 2025, the Logbook was awarded the Foleon Content Award in the category “Best People Content”.
