So, Hanjin requested money to KAL, Korean Air Line. KAL allowed the loan after putting up collateral security on the long beach container terminal in california.

September 14, 2016 at 8:27 pmTHE UCC is the controlling law. Korea assented to the terms of UCC in 1987.
Hanjin should be immediately taken over by the Korean Government in order to facilitate the removal of cargoes and allow shippers and container companies to reclaim their property, including the ship lessors. This is particularly true of the Refer containers and products as well as the ships under default leases. They have likely been destroyed by Hanjin which would be malicious and a tort under US Law as well as the UCC. Any damage to property at this point should warrant criminal charges if these products are stolen and sold on the black markets.
Hanjin has operated with bad faith and has held the shipping industry hostage to the tune of $125 billion dollars in disrupted trade. This is toxic for Korea which is an exporting nation. This will cost Korean’s more to ship their goods because the risk of dealing with Korean shippers has made dealing impossible.
Location of all ships need to be disclosed immediately and US Courts and Korean Authorities need to see that these Cargoes can be received by the original shippers.
