BWR: Hanjin’s impact on various trades

Ocean carrier schedule and capacity database BlueWater Reporting constructed a chart illustrating Hanjin’s impact on three separate trades.    Utilizing BlueWater Reporting’s Carrier Trade Route Deployment Report, the chart below provides an overview of Hanjin’s impact on the following trades: North Asia to Central Asia, Asia to North America, and Asia to Europe.
   The chart analyzes the carrier’s deployed capacity towards these three trades before it filed for court receivership Aug. 31.
   Since then, shippers have been scrambling to find out what will happen next, while several carriers have announced new services to fill the void of the now insolvent Hanjin.
   Hanjin had been deploying 518,251 TEUs on the North Asia to Central Asia trade with 71 vessels.
   The carrier had been deploying 329,139 TEUs toward the Asia to North America trade with 45 vessels, mostly on CKYHE Alliance services.
   In addition to Hanjin, the CKYHE Alliance includes COSCO of China; Japan’s “K” Line; and Yang Ming and Evergreen Line, which are both based out of Taiwan.
   Meanwhile, on the Asia to Europe trade, Hanjin was deploying 117,828 TEUs and nine vessels.
   Overall, with just these three trades, Hanjin had been deploying 125 vessels and almost 1 million TEUs.
