Slow steam ahead for Hanjin Shipping


Hanjin Shipping introduces slow steaming on Asia-U.S. East Coast service.

South Korea's Hanjin Shipping has announced that it is introducing slow steaming on one of its Asia – U.S. East Coast services effective mid-January.

As part of the agreement amongst the CKYH (COSCON, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin Shipping) Alliance partners, Hanjin Shipping said that it will commence slow steaming on its current AWH (All Water Hanjin) service.

Hanjin Shipping said it will also be adding one more 4,000TEU class vessel in order to improve schedule reliability.

Commenting on the announcement, Hanjin Shipping said “Like many other major shipping carriers, Hanjin Shipping is pleased to participate in slow steaming to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emission in accordance with the global understanding and movement aimed to save the environment.”

Back in July, Hanjin Shipping organized a Green Management Team within the company as part of its efforts to improve energy efficiency and to reduce CO2 emission by 15% until 2015.

The company also recently introduced the Supply Chain Carbon Calculator on its corporate website where customers are able to calculate the amount of CO2 emissions of their cargoes. The aim of the service is to encourage clients to also participate in reducing CO2 emissions.
