It has been ten days since the application of Hanjin Shipping in August 31st to the court to submit bankruptcy protection to the court. At present, Hanjin's ships are facing a very difficult problem: some of the ship's metamorphic goods are preserved, the ship's oil will be less and less, the most important point, the seafarer's food and fresh water questions!
According to statistics, the ports in the sea are very limited, only in South Korea, in the United States and in the possible Singapore and Hamburg ports in the future.
According to Bloomberg news, some of the homeless ships owned by Hanjin have begun to suffer from water shortage and food shortage. The captain of one of the ships revealed that the food he had applied for in Japan was also rejected by the supplier.
Kim Ho Kyung, a head of the Hanjin Shipping Association, said our ship could become "ghost ships", and the food and fresh water on these ships floating in the international waters are gradually running out.
At present, about 85 ships in the world's Hanjin sea are in a state of displacements at sea, detained at sea, and may be detained at any time by Hong Kong, and suppliers from all over the world are not so willing to cooperate with the ships of South Korea.
Although the South Korean Financial Services Commission has designated a series of plans to help Hanjin's supply company, after applying for bankruptcy protection in Hanjin, they are in the face of the danger of bankruptcy.
Worse, according to South Korea's Ministry of Oceanic and Fisheries estimates, at present, Han Jin still has about 600 billion won's oil and other funds, and about 100 billion won to be immediately paid to the dock for unloading.
At present, six ships (anchored at Rotterdam, Singapore, etc.) have received some fresh water and other supplies from Hanjin. About 70 container ships (traded by shipyards) and 15 dry bulk ships (traded by shipyards) float in 50 different seas in 26 countries.
