    Prince Rupert Port Authority spokesman Michael Gurney said that the Hanjin Scarlet arrived into the port on Aug. 30 and discharged some containers at one of its terminals. It then remained under arrest and at anchor in the outer harbor for nearly two months.

    The ship, which has 24 crew members, will unload cargo on board, Lahay said. He added that crew members had less than 10 days worth of food and provisions left, and had run out of fresh food.

      Germany’s HSH Nordbank seals charter of Hanjin ships to Maersk | Reuters

      Germany’s HSH Nordbank has arranged a deal which will see six container ships from collapsed South Korean line Hanjin chartered out to Denmark’s AP Moller Maersk, the state-backed lender said on Thursday.

      This is one of the first examples of Hanjin’s lenders looking to resolve the fallout from the shipping firm’s collapse in August, which has left an estimated $14 billion in cargo stranded on its ships.

      HSH, which was among a consortium of banks that had financed Hanjin ships, said in a statement that Maersk’s container unit, the world’s No. 1 line, would operate the six vessels.

      A source involved in the transaction told Reuters HSH had separately arranged together with three other banks for three additional Hanjin ships to be chartered out to the world’s No. 2 line, Swiss-based MSC.

      MSC did not immediately comment.
