Hapag-Lloyd AG
About Company
The roots of Hapag-Lloyd AG stretch far back into the 19th century, when the founding companies – Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (Hapag) and North German Lloyd – put their first ships to sea carrying general cargo and passengers to New York. From these beginnings, in an exciting history marked by changes and upheavals, grew the leading and globally active container liner shipping company that we are today.
In our historical publications, we offer you illuminating insights into and surprising details about over one and a half centuries of company and shipping history. In particular, we will be introducing you to Albert Ballin (1857-1918), the famous director-general of Hapag, as well as the Ballin House, the headquarters of Hapag-Lloyd AG in Hamburg named after him.

Our Values – our internal compass
At Hapag-Lloyd, “We care. We move. We deliver.”. These are our corporate values, and they are at the heart of everything we do. Our values tell a story of where we are coming from, define who we are, and guide us on our way forward. They steer the way we do business, inspire us, motivate us and, like an internal compass, help us find the right way – together.
Each of these values, “We care. We move. We deliver.”, builds on each other. None is more important than the other, and only by living each value can we bring them all to life. But there is a lot more to our values than just six short words. For a fuller picture of what they mean to us, watch the video below.
