GERMANY`s Hapag-Lloyd has announced that it will focus more on special, out-of-gauge cargo for its containerships in liner service.

To transport more cargo that does not fit into standard containers, the company has strengthened its team of specialists.

Thus more than 50 sales and technical specialists for out of gauge (OOG) transports are available to support customers worldwide. 

"Special Cargo is a growing market throughout the world. Hapag-Lloyd has many years of experience in this attractive segment," said Hapag-Lloyd chief commercial officer Thorsten Haeser.
