Hapag-Lloyd welcomes 23,600 TEU Berlin Express

A dozen state-of-the-art large container ships will be put into service by 2025. Together, these vessels will make an important contribution to Hapag-Lloyd’s efforts to operate its entire fleet in a climate-neutral manner by 2045. They will also be able to operate using non-fossil fuels such as bio-methane and e-methane, and thereby generate hardly any CO2 emissions.

With a length of almost 400 metres, it is the largest cargo ship ever to sail under the German flag. The Berlin Express will operate regularly on the FE3 service, which sails between Ningbo and Hamburg via Xiamen, Kaohsiung, Yantian, Hong Kong, Singapore and Rotterdam.

With the new Hamburg Express class, Hapag-Lloyd is at a turning point. The highly efficient ships will allow us to reduce our emissions immediately and to a very significant degree. They are an important building block in our strategy to gradually push ahead with decarbonisation: Rolf Habben Jansen, Hapag-Lloyd
