German logistics company HHLA still sees the total number of containers it loads and unloads falling by a significant double-digit percentage this year, Chief Executive Klaus-Dieter Peters said on Thursday.
In the first quarter of 2009, container throughput had dropped by 31.8 percent to 1.25 million TEU container units, after a 1.2 percent increase in the full year 2008.
But Peters said that HHLA has sufficient financial means to weather the global economic crisis and would not post a full-year loss this year.
