Hanjin Shipping Co. and its customers are paying more than usual to bring vessels into U.S. ports and unload them, saying service providers have begun taking advantage of the ailing shipping company’s bankruptcy and charging more. Ilana Volkov, a lawyer for the Seoul-based shipper, told a Newark, New Jersey, judge Friday that she couldn’t estimate the cost of bringing the company’s seven or eight outstanding ships into U.S. ports because of the fee increases. Hanjin has been seeking creditor protection in the U.S. while it tries to get its financial house in order in South Korea. In court papers Thursday, the company said owners of cargo on its ships were also subject to price-gouging by railways, marine terminals and container lessors. A lawyer for HP Inc. said that since Hanjin has broken off its agreements with the firms that lease shipping containers, there are concerns about who’s responsible for any damage to the goods they carry. A dialog between the owners of the goods and the container lessors isn’t going well, he said. “They paid Hanjin money, including container charges,” he told the judge. “They don’t want to pay twice. They don’t want to have to pay ransom.” The case is In re Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd., 16-27041, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of New Jersey (Newark).
