HMM Delivers Comfort Items to Cheonghae Unit of Navy Dispatched to Arabian Sea
Deployment to Aden Bay and Arabian Sea at European Route Junction... Support for Communication and Escort of Domestic Import and Export Ships
[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] HMM announced on the 25th that it delivered consolation goods to the Navy's Cheonghae Unit ships and soldiers. To comply with COVID-19 prevention and social distancing, HMM and the Cheonghae Unit did not hold a separate face-to-face event.
The Navy's Cheonghae Unit was dispatched to the Arabian Sea in 2009 for the purpose of combating pirates in Yemen and Somalia, and supports communication and escort for domestic import and export vessels navigating the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
The Europe route is one of the main routes for HMM's container business. Several of HMM's container ships, including 12 of the world's largest 24,000 TEU (one 6m container) class vessels, pass through this sea area about once a week on average.
