Hapag-Lloyd boss downplays importance of staying in liner top five

Size is more important than ranking, says Rolf Habben Jansen, even though the company has a goal of keeping its top spot.
”When we say we want to stay in the top 5, it means that we want to maintain a size that allows us to be a top 5 shipping company. For the time being, I also expect us to maintain that position, to be honest,” says Hapag-Lloyd's top boss, Rolf Habben Jansen. | Photo: Ulrich Perrey/AP/Ritzau Scanpix
