According to sources on Wednesday, the court is due to put out a public notice for sale of Hanjin Shipping’s America-Asia routes and affiliated assets this week at the earliest. Being pressed for time, the court allowed Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, the court’s due diligence agency, to manage the sale process.
Two weeks ago, the accounting firm proposed a business transfer before the court’s approval of the shipper’s rehabilitation plan.
Sources said major Korean companies, including Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. have shown interest in the purchase of Hanjin Shipping’s assets. In late September, Bloomberg also reported that A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S’s container line, the world’s top container carrier, would be interested in buying the assets of Korea’s both troubled shippers Hyundai Merchant Marine and Hanjin Shipping.
The assets to be on sale will include Hanjin’s America-Asia routes operation and related subsidiaries, overseas personnel, about 10 vessels, and tangible and intangible assets including customer information.
Welcoming the asset sale plan, Hanjin Shipping shares surged the daily limit of 30 percent to end at 1,395 won on Thursday from a previous session.
