Ladies and gentlemen, HHLA has successfully navigated its way through a challenging financial year. 

00:11.000 --> 00:20.000
We supply Germany and Europe! Our customers and consumers could also rely on this throughout the pandemic year.

00:20.000 --> 00:29.000
Moreover, we maintained the health and safety of our employees and ensured their job security.

00:29.000 --> 00:37.000
Due to the pandemic, there were declining volumes in both container throughput and container transport.

00:37.000 --> 00:44.000
Nevertheless, we achieved a positive result thanks to the joint efforts of the entire Group.

00:44.000 --> 00:52.000
Regardless of the current situation, the market and our customers will continue to evolve.

00:52.000 --> 00:58.000
We see this as a clear challenge for us to evolve as well. 

00:58.000 --> 01:02.000
What’s more, we will actively shape this evolution.

01:02.000 --> 01:07.000
That is why we are investing in promising markets and business fields.

01:07.000 --> 01:20.000
We have acquired majority stakes in a multi-functional terminal in Trieste as well as in a specialist for automation technology – to name just two examples.

01:20.000 --> 01:28.000
In order to secure the performance of our core business, we are systematically implementing a programme to increase our efficiency.

01:28.000 --> 01:33.000
HHLA has become significantly more digital over the past months. 

01:33.000 --> 01:39.000
We will continue to drive this transformation in future with a variety of projects.

01:39.000 --> 01:44.000
Ladies and gentlemen, HHLA continues to position itself for the future.

01:44.000 --> 02:00.000
2021 is a year of confidence. We will therefore work hard to ensure the sustainable economic success of HHLA.
