[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Hanjin announced on the 13th that it is strengthening its maritime transportation competitiveness by actively attracting heavy cargo transportation projects.

Hanjin provides domestic and global maritime transportation services for steel products and others with a fleet of six vessels totaling 53,492 tons, including two heavy cargo vessels, and dedicated vessels for radioactive waste and thermal coal, connected through a nationwide network of major ports.

Based on its expertise in maritime transportation, Hanjin became the first domestic coastal cargo shipping company to obtain the ISM Code certification for ship safety management in 2011.

Hanjin is securing diversified logistics competitiveness by focusing on attracting heavy cargo transportation projects centered on the heavy cargo vessels 'Hanjin Pioneer' and 'Hanjin Leader,' introduced in 2011 and 2019 respectively.

The two heavy cargo vessels have operated over 940,000 km, equivalent to 23 trips around the globe, to 27 countries worldwide, transporting modules for freshwater facilities, deep-sea cables, and more. They are actively pursuing various heavy cargo transportation projects.

This year, Hanjin safely completed the transportation of refinery facility modules using the Hanjin Pioneer. It is currently transporting offshore wind turbine blades and plans to attract shipments from major European energy companies in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Through the Hanjin Leader, Hanjin successfully carried out a heavy cargo transportation project for the Taiwanese offshore wind farm and plans to undertake crane transportation as well as heavy cargo transportation projects for offshore wind farms within Europe.

A Hanjin official stated, “We will prioritize the stable transportation of import and export cargo, provide the highest quality transportation services, and make every effort to enhance our maritime transportation capabilities.”
