摘要
韩国三大正在各显神通以克服产业低迷。2月初，韩进海运决定关闭已经建立22年、由韩进持有80％股份的德国子公司胜利航运。“对于2009年，前景依旧不容乐观。甚至在很长一段时间内，运费都不会增加。这使我们不得不忍痛做出这个决定”胜利航运董事会说。该公司经营14条航线，主要针对欧亚贸易。
The big three Korean shipping lines are each deploying unique strategies to overcome the downturn. Hanjin Shipping took the decision in early February to close its 22 year-old 80% owned German subsidiary Senator Lines. Hanjin is a big believer in terminals becoming both cost savers and profit centres. Hyundai MerchantMarine has sailed very close to the wind in past downturns and so is taking nothing for granted despite posting the best results of any Korean shipping line last year, net profit jumping 297% to Won703.6bn. STX Pan Ocean, meanwhile, is prepared for a 50% plus slide in revenues but its diversified fleet should see it pull through the downturn. $6bn revenues are the 2009 target compared to last year’s record $9.29bn.
