German liner operator Hapag-Lloyd has taken to social media to celebrate a new milestone in its 177-year history — its fleet strength has reached 300 owned and chartered vessels for the first time.
The 300th ship is Reederei Nord’s 1,930-teu Nordatlantic, a newbuilding recently delivered by Chinese shipbuilder CCSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding.
The vessel is one of three sister ships Hapag-Lloyd revealed it is chartering as a “package deal” with their Hamburg-based owner.
