The main shock
Despite considerable chaos on the world freight market, the bankruptcy of the seventh largest carrier in the world markedly improved the situation of the remaining players.
So the applications for freight traffic between Asia and Northern Europe in the first week after the filing of Hanjin bankruptcy on 31 August rose by more than 40%, in the trans-Pacific direction shipments rose on 50% according to the Shanghai Port’s data. Similar dynamics were observed in the directions between Asia and the Middle East and the Mediterranean. There was no noticeable growth in the transatlantic direction.
At the moment about 80 container ships of the company can carry out the delivery of goods. A total of about 500,000 standard freight containers can be shipped.
