Hanjin Shipping Bankruptcy Unlikely to Ease Glut of Vessels

 

The increasingly likely demise of one of the world’s biggest container-shipping companies may offer some short-term relief to a sector battered by a global downturn in trade. It also could hasten further industry consolidation.

What the collapse of South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping Co. won’t likely do is solve the shipping industry’s biggest problem: 30% more space on ships than cargo to fill it amid a world-wide trading slump.

@radx, i already posted it in recession le

I know

 

This however hits shipping a big deal same as swiber

All this slump in shipping is caused by one thing.

 

Miniaturisation of electronics.

 

Last time we had big CRT TV and the ships were full.

 

Now we have slim line LCDs and the ships are 30% empty.

 

Same with PCs into Ipads. Grandfather clocks into small

 

digital ones. Adult education videos in VHS into online

 

streaming and no need shipping.

 

:D

Please always look on the bright side.

 

Less big ships mean less pollution right?

 

And use less oil and less metal etc.

 

Good for planet Earth.

 

:D
