DAHBOO77: "$14 Billion In Cargo Stranded at Sea" video plus Maritime Tracker tool
Dahboo reports on the many container ships of the Hanjin company which are now stranded at sea due to bankruptcy. People are calling them "ghost ships".
Bordering Chaos: $14 Billion In Cargo Stranded at Sea, Crews Go Crazy On Hanjin Ghost Ships
"The fallout from last week's historic bankruptcy of one of the world's biggest shipping lines, Hanjin Shipping, continued with little resolution with as much as $14 billion worth of cargo stranded at sea according to the WSJ, sending cargo owners scurrying to try to recover their goods and get them to customers...
As Bloomberg adds, 85Hanjin ships that have been effectively marooned offshore as ports in the U.S., Asia and Europe have turned the company’s ships away. The worry is that Hanjin ships won’t be able to pay port fees or their contents might be seized by creditors, which would disrupt port operations."
Where ARE all these ships?
You can see the positions of the Hanjin ships by going to the "Marine Traffic" website.
In the search box at the top where it says "Vessel/Port" type in "Hanjin". A rather large list appears; at present it lists 380 vessels so I don't quite understand how this relates to the 85 ships considered "stranded". Apparently the "stranded" status means "denied port entry".
In any case you can click on a vessel to go to its information page showing its position, status, speed, flag, and other details.
If you scroll down a bit there is a section called "Latest Position" and a link that says "Show on live map" which will take you back to the map showing the given ship.
It's pretty cool to be able to see a world map with all the ships at sea isn't it?
