Hapag-Lloyd has posted preliminary first-half earnings figures that outstripped the analyst consensus by 25%.
The German container line said Ebitda was €1.15bn ($1.3bn) to 30 June, beating the previous year's figure of €956m.
The Ebitda figure implies a result of €680m for the second quarter, which is much higher than Norwegian investment bank Clarksons Platou Securities' estimate of €461m.
