History in Motion: Stories that Shaped Our Course

The past doesn’t just pass. It shapes us and moves us: like the tide. Hapag-Lloyd, too, has been in motion for more than 175 years – shaped by transformation, continuity, and the demands of a changing world. From the first transatlantic crossings of Hapag and North German Lloyd to today’s global container logistics, the company has constantly evolved.

Time & Tides offers selected insights into this journey – highlighting events, people, and decisions that helped define Hapag-Lloyd’s path. And at times, it simply offers a glimpse into everyday scenes of the past: Moments that speak for themselves.

Welcome to Time & Tides.
