Port of Virginia Refuses Inbound Hanjin Shipping Cargo

The US Port of Virginia said that it has stopped accepting inbound cargo from South Korean container carrier Hanjin Shipping after the company filed for court receivership amid a prolonged downturn in the shipping industry. Namely, the port would not accept the carrier’s cargo at any of its marine or intermodal terminals, however, it would continue accepting empty Hanjin containers at the Pinners Point Container Yard (PPCY). Furthermore, Port of Virginia said that it is developing plans for how to handle Hanjin cargo that is already on-terminal. The ocean carrier filed for court protection after losing support of its banks in South Korea. The company also asked the Seoul Central District Court to freeze its assets. http://worldmaritimenews.com/archives/200917/port-of-virginia-refuses-inbound-hanjin-shipping-cargo/
