Hapag-Lloyd has announced the opening of a new office in Ukraine. The country, located on the northern shores of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, is the second largest European country by area covering a geographic position between the European Union and Russia, according to Hapag-Lloyd.
The company highlights various mineral resources in the country and claims it has the world’s largest agricultural production, making Ukraine an attractive export market for Hapag-Lloyd. The country is also stated to be an important import country for goods such as electronics, machinery and consumer goods. Reportedly, Ukraine is also home to operations of large multinational companies, creating opportunities to ocean carriers like Hapag-Lloyd, the company said.
“The economic growth of the country is convincing and many Ukrainian customers already rely on the services of Hapag-Lloyd. With the opening of our new office in the country, we pay tribute to the excellent business development and the enormous chances we see in this market”, said Juan Pablo Richards, Senior Managing Director Region South Europe of Hapag-Lloyd.
The new office will be located in Odessa and be the working place for 21 employees.
