Final Hanjin boxship renamed Maersk Iyo
It has taken less than a year for all Hanjin Shipping’s boxships to be renamed. Two weeks today will mark the first anniversary since Hanjin Shipping sought court protection becoming one of the most famous shipping bankruptcies in history. “The recent renaming of the 5,067 teu Hanjin Scarlet, the last vessel to bear the Korean carrier’s colours, to Maersk Iyo, has consigned the once mighty Hanjin name to maritime history,” Alphaliner noted in its most recent weekly report. The Hanjin Scarlet was renamed earlier this month, Maersk oficials confirmed, telling Splash that the ship is now deployed on the transpacific trades. http://splash247.com/final-hanjin-boxship-renamed-maersk-iyo/

Community Delivers Holiday Cheer to Hanjin Scarlet
Local mariners and Filipino community leaders in Victoria, B.C. have been working to make Christmas a bit merrier for the stranded crew of the Hanjin Scarlet, which is at anchor and awaiting orders in the Southern Gulf Islands. The vessel has been idle since Hanjin Shipping collapsed at the end of August, and the crewmembers still do not know when they will be able to return home. Crewmember Chef Carlo told ABS CBN that the conditions on board are good: their salaries are being paid, and they have food, water, internet access and movies. But uncertainty remains as to the Scarlet's future. Several of the men have contracts expiring next month, and Carlo said that they hoped that they would be able to decrew as planned. http://maritime-executive.com/article/community-delivers-holiday-cheer-to-hanjin-scarlet
