Hanjin declared bankruptcy. Apparently shipping boats are just dropping anchor in the middle of the ocean until they hear what the gently caress they need to do with their cargo.

ports are turning away hanjin ships. crews are gonna get stuck on board for months off shore while they figure this out.

quote:

The current bottleneck came after Hanjin filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday after its creditors rejected a restructuring plan.

Hanjin, like other large shipping lines, has struggled with overcapacity brought on by a massive ship building boom and sluggish demand.

Hanjin and others bought bigger and bigger ships to save money on fuel, on the premise that both Chinese economic growth and global shipping would would remain strong, O'Connell said.

“Well, China stumbled and global trade projections went nearly flat,” he said. “All these shipping lines are stuck with large vessels and overcapacity.”

Hanjin, for example, reported a loss of $221 million in the first quarter.

Ram a tanker into a cruise liner, boom, 9/11 on the seas. Also add some jet fuel or something.

maybe just put a bomb on a cruise ship and if it goes slower than 55mph it blows up??? seems like a simpler way to do this

rates, over capacity drives rates down. transpacific rates are at historic lows. ships might be underutilized and shippers can cut sailings in a string in response. steamship lines dont have much ability to extract price from customer.

container shipping is pretty fungible. a ship going from shanghai to la is a ship going form shanghai to la. the biggest difference between lines would be like....price(obviously), the terminals a string calls and how frequently it calls these terminals.

Hopefully the cargo owners will offer the terminals some guarantees to get the ships unloaded.

On the other hand, those ships are getting arrested wherever they dock, so I can see how nobody would want to be stuck with them around. Definitely sucks for the crews though - best case scenario, they're out of work and owned back wages.

Dude was arrested and held by AF counter intelligence. It basically ruined his career and he spiraled downward into depression before getting a medical discharge. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure he committed suicide and one of his friends came in here to tell us.

Can definitely suck for crews. I've only recently learnt of the yellow fleet.
Also wasn't there also a few ships stuck in ha long bay after the USA blocked it with minefields during the Vietnam war?
