It was expected, and now Hapag-Lloyd is delivering its first results. According to preliminary figures from the end of January, the container shipping company's consolidated profit before interest and taxes increased from EUR 2.5 billion to EUR 2.6 billion in 2024 compared to 2023, and revenue also rose significantly. It climbed from 17.8 to 19.1 billion euros. A 5% increase in transport volumes and a stable average freight rate contributed significantly to this.

New suspicion of sabotage of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea: It seems to be a recurring theme that merchant ships in the Baltic Sea suddenly complain about the loss of anchors and anchor chains. This allegedly happened on 20 February 2025 when the freighter MV "Arne", coming from St. Petersburg, passed the Swedish islands of Gotland and Öland westbound.

This development comes as a surprise, as the US Senate wanted to cut 90 per cent of the development funds requested by the Navy for the F/A-XX in the middle of the year. It would now be possible for the Air Force...
