A 7th Carrrier to Phase-Out Chassis in the US

Posted 14 years ago

Hyundai Merchant Marine(HMM) has joined the list of carriers that will no longer provide chassis to move containers in and out US ports.  As of November 1st, HMM will phase out their chassis fleet at Worcester, MA, Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA, Buffalo, NY, Harrisburg, PA, and Miami, FL.  

Like its predecessors, HMM is starting in smaller ports and inland locations and gradually spreading throughout the US.  "The new policy will make the international and local supply chain function more efficiently" said Lamont Petersen, VP of Marketing at HMM.  The other carriers are: ACL, OOCL, NYK, CMA CGM, and Evergreen.
