South Korea-based container carrier Hanjin Shipping will resume service at the Port of Portland on Saturday after staying away for more than a month due to a contentious labour dispute, reported Portland Business Journal Online. Hanjin is the biggest international carrier at the port, representing about 80 percent of the container business at the port's Terminal 6, making Saturday's arrival of the Hanjin Mundra welcome news.
"The arrival of the Mundra will certainly assist the process of restoring confidence for all industry stakeholders," Sam Ruda, the port's chief commercial officer for the Port of Portland, said. "We are very pleased to welcome Hanjin’s container service back to Portland."
Hanjin and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd, the other carrier providing weekly container service at the port, each steered clear of the port while the dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and terminal operator ICTSI Oregon ground production at T6 to a halt.
