Where Growth Begins
Editorial by Dheeraj Bhatia, our Chief Terminal and Infrastructure Officer and CEO of Hanseatic Global Terminals
Shipping is transforming faster than ever, and one key to navigating that change lies in our terminals and infrastructure.
Do you remember the last time you were forced out of your normal, comfortable routine? Like when taking a new route to work because there was construction on the usual one or learning a new skill that felt a bit awkward at first? These experiences aren’t always welcome.
But the fact is that we can only grow and evolve by moving outside our comfort zones.
The same is true for our industry. Shipping is transforming faster than ever, and one key to navigating that change lies in our foundation – our terminals and infrastructure. This is where reliability, efficiency and innovation come together to keep global trade flowing.
At Hapag-Lloyd, we’re investing in that evolution via Hanseatic Global Terminals as part of a strategic effort to strengthen and expand our terminal operations worldwide.
By modernizing equipment, optimizing yard design and seamlessly connecting ports to hinterlands, we’re preparing our business for the trade patterns and sustainable shipping solutions of tomorrow.
In our feature story, you can read how Iquique International Terminal in northern Chile has become a driver of progress and opportunity in the area while following Luis, Jocelyn and Eric as they perform their daily jobs.
And there’s more to discover! With this final “Logbook” issue of the year, we dive deeper into the theme of “Evolving Together”: with powerful stories from around the globe, each reflecting how our company is learning, adapting and moving forward. In every port, on every deck and in every office, our people are making this change happen – not in isolation, but together.
Stay with us to explore how we’re not just navigating change, we’re shaping it.
