Turnover and earnings
Total turnover rose to € 47 million in the second quarter of 2008, up 29.2% year-on-year. Accumulated turnover for the first half of the year grew by 21.7%. Average revenues per day grew again year-on-year. Earnings grew year-on-year, climbing to € 0 million (previous year: € - 1 million) in the second quarter and € 6 million (previous year: € 2 million) for the first half of 2008. This growth was achieved despite adverse effects resulting from the rise in oil price-induced operating costs.
Business development
In the second quarter of 2008, Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten again reported a positive business development. Demand for cruises in the premium and luxury segment increased substantially year-on-year. Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten benefited of this development and continued to record a positive development of bookings. The occupancy rate remained on high level. The ‘Europa‘ and ‘Columbus‘, in particular, reported gratifying growth both in booking volumes and rates.
