Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., (HMM) one of South Korea’s biggest shipping lines, has established a solid foundation to guarantee normalized operations for the future.
CEO Paik Hoon Lee said in a statement the company has concluded its financial restructuring plan.
Key elements of the new plan include:
The sale of non-core assets that will assure adequate working capital to sustain uninterrupted operations.
The re-negotiation of more favorable long term vessel charter rates to improve our cost effectiveness.
The inclusion of HMM in the 2M Alliance which will position us for long-term service, cost and operational competitiveness.
The 2M Alliance controls about one-third of the Asia-Europe trade route, the world’s most lucrative, and includes Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Co.
In addition, the state-run Korean Development Bank (KDB) has become the company’s largest shareholder.
Our special networking event is about smart freight forwarders coming together to grow and develop business within the group by providing an opportunity for all members to gather in one place to form and extend personal relationships.
