South Korean liner Hanjin Shipping Co to file for bankruptcy

The world’s seventh-biggest shipping line by capacity, it had debts totalling KRW6.1 trillion ($7.5 billion) as at June 30, 2016, versus cash and equivalents amounting to KRW180.4 billion, according to its 1H2016 financial report.

However, restructuring proposals submitted by the liner were not enough to address the shortfall in cash, its main lender Korea Development Bank said Tuesday.
