Employees by segment

In the Container segment, the number of staff increased slightly year-on-year to 3,124. In the Intermodal segment, headcount rose by 78 to 2,633. This high increase in the Intermodal segment is partly due to the first-time consolidation of Adria Rail (Croatia), as well as the growth in headcount at the METRANS Group. By contrast, the number of employees in the Logistics segment decreased by five to 266. In the strategic management holding segment Holding/Other, the number decreased strongly by 83. HPSG has been disclosed in the Container segment instead of the Holding/Other segment since 2023. Overall, headcount of the HHLA Group rose by 47, or 0.7 %.
