Dear friends,

We are sad to see another smaller independent shipping line gone from the market. Strategically it does make very good sense for Hapag Lloyd.

Best regards

Dear Friends of NileDutch,

Through this message, we wish to advise that Hapag Lloyd AG will acquire NileDutch.

Attached you will find a Press Release with the most important information. Hapag Lloyd is a global carrier that has a wide presence on the African continent already. NileDutch is a perfect match, from geographic and competitive perspectives, as well in the way that we conduct our business.

There will be no immediate changes and the usual counterparts in NileDutch will continue to work with you: business as usual.

In case any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Jan Willem de Braal
Chief Operating Officer
