\nFull <\/b>Hanjin<\/b> Ship Won\u2019t Dock Because No Plan to Leave (re: <\/b>Hanjin<\/b> Miami)<\/b>

\nSept 20 (Reuters) \u2013 Failed South Korean cargo line Hanjin Shipping Co Ltd has found the money to unload a full container ship waiting outside a New York-area port. But there is another problem: once unloaded, the empty vessel may not be able to go back out to sea.
\nThe National Retail Federation on Tuesday urged U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker to find a way to clear up the confusion. \u201cThe impact on small and medium-sized companies could be particularly devastating if this situation is not resolved in a timely manner,\u201d the group said in a letter.
\nHanjin has the money to dock its Hanjin Miami, Federal Maritime Commissioner William Doyle, whose agency regulates international shipping, told an industry event on Friday. But the Miami is not being allowed in port because of a dispute about empty Hanjin shipping containers, which the Miami normally would load up as ballast to exit port. Without those empties, the ship \u201cwill not be able to depart the harbor because it would not have the air clearance to navigate under the Bayonne Bridge \u2014 even at a dead low tide,\u201d said Doyle. Without a way to leave, the ship could tie up a berth.
\n\u201cThere are so many disputes right now attached to empty containers that the terminal is not going to load the empties back onto the ship,\u201d Doyle said.
\nThe Port Authority of New York & New Jersey declined to comment, as did an attorney for Maher Terminal, which operates the marine terminal in Newark where the Hanjin Miami is expected to dock.
\nThe Hanjin Miami is currently off the U.S. East Coast, about 300 miles from New York, according to Reuters Eikon data.
\nOther ports also are struggling with questions of who pays for terminal charges and what to do with empty containers. The complexity increased on Monday after a South Korean judge told Hanjin to cancel its ship charter agreements and return empty vessels to their owners. In the wake of the decision by the South Korean judge, an empty Hanjin Miami may become the responsibility of Reederei NSB, which manages the ship on behalf of its owner, an affiliate of Conti Holding of Munich, according to Reuters Eikon data. A spokeswoman for Reederei and a U.S. lawyer for Hanjin did not respond to requests for comment.
\nPort terminals, meanwhile, have stopped accepting returns of empty shipping containers because they doubt Hanjin will pay to store them.
\n\u201cThe Hanjin boxes are radioactive. Nobody wants to take responsibility for them,\u201d said Mark Hirzel, chairman of the Los Angeles Customs Brokers & Freight Forwarders Association Inc.
\nAs containers on chassis pile up in far-flung storage lots, it has created a shortage of the trailers used to transport containers on land.
\nDarren Azman, an attorney for Bermuda-based Textainer Group Holdings Ltd said cargo owners and other Hanjin parties are working out an agreement that they hope will normalize the movement of shipping containers.
\nBut U.S. retailers and manufacturers who own the cargo are caught in the confusion.
\nAlex Rasheed, president of Pacific Textile and Sourcing Inc, a Los Angeles-headquartered importer and wholesaler of apparel, is anxious to receive $300,000 worth of seasonal fall clothing in two containers on the Hanjin Jungil, which is waiting off the coast of Southern California.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to start feeling the pressure unless there is some kind of resolution,\u201d Rasheed said.
\nHanjin\u2019s bankruptcy also has U.S. exporters that were relying on the company scrambling to find alternatives, including flying goods to foreign markets at a loss, said Hirzel.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve even heard about air transport of agriculture exports,\u201d Hirzel said. \u201cEconomically, it\u2019s a guaranteed loser \u2026 The only reason you would do that is to meet an order to get a contract in the future.\u201d (Reporting by Tom Hals in Wilmington, Delaware, editing by Peter Henderson and Alden Bentley)
