HMM officials said: “(HMM) looks forwards to expanding terminal businesses and building a long-term growth drive with the new terminal.

“It is planning to boost the competitiveness of the company by taking over additional Hanjin Shipping’s lucrative assets and constructing new vessels.”

Recently, the company has lost its bid to buy Hanjin Shipping’s Asia-US trade route, reported the Wall Street Journal.

HMM currently has three terminals in the US and Taiwan and is revamping those terminals to increase their capacity. HMM also owns a 20% stake in a container-only terminal in Netherlands.
