Hanjin Shipping has announced today that it will implement a new chassis supply management program in the U.S. Effective October 1st, 2010, the company will discontinue providing chassis in Miami and Philadelphia and gradually expand the program to other regions in the U.S. Hanjin Shipping comments, “In line with what has been in force in the rest of the world, we believe that the implementation of this new policy will immediately improve terminal productivity and cargo transit time at U.S. terminals as well by reducing idle time waiting for chassis. We are also pleased that this program will help us reduce cargo foot print and have a positive impact on the environment in line with our green management policy.” 
Hanjin Shipping adds that in prior to the introduction of this policy the company is cooperating with leasing companies to assist its customers with chassis supply.
