Hanjin Shipping said (that) its four main European centres will close this week or early November according to the regulatory filing.
In total, Hanjin operates from some 10 offices in Europe and employs 250-300 people in sales and operational roles – probably many more indirectly, in sub-agencies and service roles.
Hans-Peter Becker, a senior manager at Hanjin Shipping in Hamburg, told The Loadstar this morning: “Whatever information we get, we get from the press, not from our management.”
“In fact, today’s announcement to close the European offices is still not confirmed internally. You [the press] are our only reliable source,” he added. “I urge you to have an eye on information you receive and to publish it.”
