Disturbing account of what can happen to shippers when a line decides to leave a port. In this case its South Korean carrier Hanjin, which currently accounts for around 80% of the throughput at the US north-west coast port of Portalnd., The port is the scene of a long-running three-way dispute between terminal operator ICTSI, the port authority and the local stevedore union, the ILWU.
