According to MANA, Hanjin Group said it made the decision to "normalize the unloading of Hanjin Shipping's containers" to "minimize the damage to exporters and importers". Hanjin Shipping filed for court receivership last week.
Hanjin's receivership filing has prompted ports around the world to block access or refuse service to dozens of the company's ships on fears they won't be paid, stranding cargo.
