Hanjin adds two 4,300-TEU ships
Hanjin Shipping said Thursday it has taken delivery of two 4,300-TEU ships, the sixth and seventh in a series of eight such vessels ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries in 2005.
The two new ships, the Hanjin Atlanta and Hanjin Gdynia, are scheduled to be deployed in the company's Asia/U.S. and Far East/Red Sea services beginning in April.
'Despite the current global economic recession and the instable shipping market, we will carry on our efforts to create optimal fleet as we have planned for our long-term growth,' said W.W. Lee, executive vice president and chief executive officer of Hanjin's container liner business unit.
