Hanjin Shipping has inaugurated its exclusive Kwangyang terminal, which has a design capacity of 240,000 teus (20 ft equivalent units) a year, on the southwest coast of South Korea.

The first vessel handled by the terminal, which covers more than 210,000 square feet, was the 2,700 teu Hanjin Bremen, which operates on the China-America Express service.

The United Alliance partners Hanjin Shipping, DSR-Senator Line and Cho Yang Line, along with Dongnama Shipping and Pacific International Lines, will initially operate 10 vessels a week at the terminal, which is expected to handle 100,000 teus in its first year.

Furnished with a six-gate entrance, the terminal is equipped with a bar code system to meet the logistics needs of customers.

A container freight station of more than 5,792 sq ft is designed to handle 7,200 teus a year.

Hanjin operates dedicated terminals at Seattle, Osaka, Tokyo, Kamcheon and Kamman in Pusan, Long Beach, Hamburg and Kaohsiung.
