5-SLN: Hanjin Shipping Unclaimed Freight

5-SLN has been advised by M.K. Jun of Bigway I.T./South Korea that the Port of Busan has accumulated over 30,000 cargo-laden and unclaimed Hanjin Shipping containers with another 9,000 to follow.  We have also been advised by Toh Albert of JSAS (Singapore) Pte Ltd that the Port of Singapore Authority has set a deadline of November 28, 2016 for Hanjin containers to be claimed or else they will be disposed of or sold off.  These items can be found under 5-SLN Member News.

If 5-SLN Members have any shippers/consignees whose freight is still in limbo, we recommend visiting the Hanjin website that offers recovery assistance.  Our 5-SLN Members in the relevant country that the freight is stranded in are also a valuable resource if needed.

Also, as regards Hanjin Shipping, in a surprise move on Monday, South Korea’s Korea Line has been picked as the preferred bidder to buy Hanjin Shipping’s Asia-US operations, beating out the favored Hyundai Merchant Marine.
