Custom Product Shipping Options After Hanjin

Though few Americans have heard of South Korea’s container shipping company Hanjin Shipping, the companies that once relied on them may now need to consider new custom product shipping options. Due to this recent shipping crisis, almost every American’s holiday shopping is likely to be impacted.

Stores may not have the various familiar items that customers count on purchasing as gifts. Instead of being in wrapped packages and under the tree, these items may be stockpiled in warehouses in China or elsewhere. Many China manufacturers and outsourcing companies are frantically searching for alternative transport to the U.S. for their custom products.

Hanjin, the world’s seventh largest container shipper, filed for court receivership on August 31st. Many of Hanjin’s 66 ship fleets were left idle or stranded in various ports. Eventually, the ships were allowed to unload their cargo, but the thousands of empty containers are still clogging the shipping pipeline. Due to nulled posting contracts and settlement negotiations, even the status of snail-mail packages from South Korea is unknown. In short, it’s been a huge crisis and concern; however, this is where ITI Manufacturing comes in…
