150,000 TEU of Hanjin-owned ships still up for sale: Drewry
BANKRUPT Hanjin Shipping has sold, scrapped or re-chartered one-third of its 98-vessel fleet for US$460 million, according to Drewry Maritime Research.
Drewry estimates 63 ex-Hanjin ships with nearly 460,000 TEU-capacity remain parked awaiting buyers or charterers. They include three 13,092 TEU containerships sold in December. Another six ships of the same size are to be auctioned next month, reported freightweek.
"Accounting for the less than transparent ownership details, we estimate that there remains up to as much as 150,000 TEU of Hanjin-owned ships that is still for sale," said Drewry.
Maersk Line has chartered 11 ex-Hanjin vessels totaling 77,000 TEU, including two of the 13,000 TEU ships that were sold in December and now redeployed in the 2M Alliance's Asia-Europe network.
Drewry said it expects another eight or nine vessels to be in commercial use again soon, including four Hanjin-owned ships with a capacity of 4,275 TEU purchased by Korean Marine Transport Company, and five more vessels acquired by the Korean Samra Midas Group each with a 6,655 TEU capacity. Seaspan Corporation has also acquired four 4,275 TEU Hanjin vessels.
