Hanjin Ships Get Stranded in High Seas, Roiling Supply Chain

#facepalm :)

Mouais, on peut aussi penser aux équipages qui se retrouvent sans paie et sans employeur un peu partout dans le monde.

Et tous les innombrables problèmes en chaîne, uniquement matériels c’est vrai, que déclenche le blocage des cargaisons.

Suivre le croisillon #Hanjin
(et encore, j’en ai sous la main quant aux conséquences matérielles…)

@simplicissimus très juste. J’ai un peu honte de ne pas y avoir pensé

ça mériterait une #carte

Comme celle-ci, par exemple ?

South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping bankruptcy has global impact
By Ben McGrath
9 September 2016

South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping is facing major restructuring after filing for bankruptcy protection last week. A Seoul court placed the world’s seventh largest cargo transportation line under court receivership on September 1, leading to worldwide disruptions at ports and terminals. The country’s shipping lines and shipbuilders have been struggling in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the drop in global trade.

On Tuesday, Hanjin announced it was able to secure 100 billion won (US$90.6 million) to begin unloading dozens of vessels around the world. Forty billion won will come from Hanjun chairman Cho Yang-ho’s personal wealth while 60 billion won will come from loans, using stakes in terminals such as that at Long Beach, California as collateral.
