Hapag-Lloyd AG announced that Maximilian Rothkopf, the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO), will leave the executive board by mutual agreement on June 30, 2026. He will remain with the company as an advisor during a transition period to ensure a successful and smooth handover.
Rothkopf was appointed to the group's executive board on May 1, 2019, and, as COO, assumed operational responsibility for the company's global shipping business on July 1, 2019. The Supervisory Board will determine his successor at a later date.
Karl Gernandt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG, commented that "during the past seven years, Dr. Rothkopf has demonstrated great enthusiasm and commitment, for example, by contributing to the gradual modernization and decarbonization of the Hapag-Lloyd fleet. Thanks to him, Hapag-Lloyd now has a modern fleet of approximately 300 vessels with a capacity of about 2.5 million TEU."
"He played a fundamental role in the strategic reorientation of the company and the continuous improvement of its operational performance. The Supervisory Board wishes to express its sincere gratitude to Dr. Rothkopf for his dedication and for a collaboration marked by a high degree of trust, and wishes him all the best in his future professional and personal endeavors," Gernandt emphasized.
