Gloomy Fate of Hanjin Rome
The ill-fated Hanjin Rome, owned by the bankrupt Hanjin Shipping Company - has been sitting off the eastern coast of Singapore for more than a month. The mid-sized cargo vessel was placed under court arrest here on Aug 29 after German shipowner Rickmers filed a civil claim for money it says it is owed by Hanjin. When the Hanjin Rome arrived in Singapore on 29 August, no-one on board expected anything other than a regular port call. Little did they know that their trip was about to come to a grinding halt. According to the Straits Times, Hanjin will have to apply to the Singapore High Court for the ship to be released, but for now, it is unable to berth or leave. "There is no development on this matter, nobody tells me any good news," Captain Moon Kwon Do said.
Doyle Gives Thumbs Up to Ocean Three
Commissioner William P. Doyle’s in a statement today said, "I am voting to take no further action on the Hanjin/UASC/CMA CGM/CSL Vessel Sharing and Slot Charter Agreement. The agreement commonly referred to as the Ocean Three Alliance was filed in October 2014 and went into immediate effect because it met the low market share threshold exemption pursuant to FMC regulations. The Ocean Three Alliance is comprised of United Arab Shipping Company (UASC), CMA CGM and China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL). This Hanjin/UASC/CMA CGM/CSL Vessel Sharing and Slot Charter Agreement is basically the Ocean Three parties plus Hanjin Shipping Company.
