Navigating the Aftermath of the Hanjin Shipping Co. Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy of one of the world's largest shipping companies has created many uncertainties for shippers, carriers, intermediaries, port pilots, fuel providers, rail and trucking companies, and many others. Adding to the turmoil is the fast-approaching critical time for shipping holiday inventory. Holland & Knight attorneys Eric Lee, Vincent Foley and Arthur Rosenberg join U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) General Counsel Tyler Wood to help provide clarity on the issues.

Topics of discussion will include the FMC's role in regard to jurisdiction and scope of oversight. We will also provide an overview, as well as the implications and the expectations, of the bankruptcy filing in Korea, the Chapter 15 protection in the U.S. and global bankruptcy filings.
