After five quarters of strong growth, in the second quarter
this year's revenues recorded a slight increase in
decrease having amounted to 2,622.7 billion won (1.9 billion
billion dollars), down -1.5% on the same period
of 2024. The reduction was generated by the decline in the
-3.7% of revenues from the transport business segment alone
containerized shipping which amounted to 2,170.1 billion
of which 826 billion was generated by maritime services with the
Americas (-4.6%), 780 billion from services with Europe (+7.4%), 322
billion from services with Asia (-15.3%) and 249 billion won from
North-South services (-12.1%). The contraction in turnover in the
containerized shipping sector was caused by the
-22.1% reduction in the value of average freight compared to the
quarter of 2025 was $1,195/container
TEU. The volumes of containerized cargo carried by the fleet
of the South Korean company in the period increased by

transported on routes with the Americas (-3.5%), 299 thousand TEUs on the
routes with Europe (+20.4%), 225 thousand TEUs on routes with Asia
(-13.6%) and 118 thousand TEUs on the north-south (+23.6%).
