hanjin-shipAfter months of negotiations between Hanjin and Korea Development Bank (KDB) (the shipping company’s main creditor) to restructure Hanjin’s debt, the attempts have failed.  KDB withdrew its support of Hanjin because the final funding plan proposed was not enough to meet the company’s debt of $5.5B.  

 

As a result, Hanjin has filed for receivership, which is a form of bankruptcy protection. The courts will now decide if the company will be liquidated or restructured.
