Hanjin Collapse leaves containers stranded, causes global shipping chaos

hanjin20boston20stern2016x9People located near west coast ports may’ve noticed some huge container ships sitting oddly idle in near shore waters for days on end recently, unable to complete their business in port. A huge quantity of goods belonging to many corporations throughout the world are currently stranded aboard these ships.

Hanjin Shipping is filing for court receivership, the first step towards what will be the largest container line bankruptcy in history – six times larger than the collapse of United States Lines three decades ago, the previous record holder.

Hanjin operates 98 container ships totalling 600,000 TEU, 11 port terminals and 74 sea routes, in addition to bulker operations.

The long-term fallout from Hanjin Shipping’s insolvency will have far-reaching effects, but the impact is already being felt in ports around the world.

Road to Ruin: Resisting the Gateway Freeway Expansion

Featured

Posted by bcblackout in Highways, Pacific Gateway, Port Expansion

≈ Leave a comment

On April 22, 2011 (Mother Earth Day), hundreds of people marched down River Road in North Delta, BC, Canada (unceded Coast Salish Territories) and established the South Fraser Protection Camp — to disrupt a freeway construction site that was destroying the banks of the Fraser River. It was one of the boldest acts of many years of resistance to the Gateway freeway expansion program, and this film is being released now, five years later, to honour all those involved in the struggle.

It’s also being offered as a point of comparison for folks currently engaged in resistance against newer infrastructural atrocities in the area, such as the Kinder Morgan Pipeline expansion, the Massey Tunnel megabridge replacement, and Terminal 2 at Deltaport, as well as coal/LNG/jet fuel terminals in the Fraser Delta, etc.

This film is a DIY, anti-profit, anti-capitalist project. If you like it, please support your local grassroots land defender, or be one yourself. We’re no pros but we made an effort to do this compelling tale justice by stitching together everything from news clips to random footage from crappy cameras. We covered a lot of ground but there is much, much more to know if you care to look, or ask. Freedom for the earth, fire for the freeways!

Protesters prepared to demonstrate against new bridge

17 Thursday Oct 2013

≈ Leave a comment

ImageVANCOUVER (Corporate Media) – Remember Stop-the-Pave? They were the folks who protested the construction of the new Port Mann Bridge.

They’re prepared to stand up again, this time against the bridge that will replace the Massey Tunnel.

The group believes the bridge over the south arm of the Fraser represents the same issues as the new Port Mann does: more cars, more pollution, and more congestion.

“But it’s got an added component. The bridge is actually designed to allow larger coal ships and larger oil tankers into the Fraser. So there is a triple reason to oppose it,” says the group’s Eric Doherty.

Delta protesters block Port’s greenwashed ‘habitat restoration’ project

10 Tuesday Sep 2013

Posted by bcblackout in Coal, Pacific Gateway, Port Expansion

≈ Leave a comment

deltaport18_0LADNER, COAST SALISH TERRITORY – Protesters shut down work on a Boundary Bay ‘habitat remediation’  early this morning, surrounding machines being used by the Port of Metro Vancouver to remove virtually all the logs from the foreshore around the bay.

The protesters say the logs are vital to the protection of birds and their prey that use the area, including snowy owls and thousands of waterfowl. The project to ‘cleanup’ the foreshore of logs washed up over the past 80 years gets the Port ‘Habitat Banking’ points it can trade in for eco-exemptions on its nearby Deltaport Coal port expansion.

Standing on the Land to Stand Up Against Pipelines: A Report from the Unist’ot’en Camp

26 Friday Jul 2013

Posted by bcblackout in Enbridge Pipeline, Fracking, Indigenous Resistance, Pacific Gateway, Pacific Trails Pipeline, Pipelines, Unis'tot'en Camp

≈ Leave a comment

1aCrimethinc has posted a detailed write-up about the development of the Unist’ot’en Camp, a resistance community whose purpose is to protect sovereign Wet’suwet’en territory from several proposed pipelines from the Tar Sands Gigaproject and shale gas from Hydraulic Fracturing Projects in the Peace River Region.

When companies like Enbridge and Apache announced plans to build a massive pipeline corridor through these lands, it provoked outrage from the Wet’suwet’en people whose traditional territory lies directly in its proposed path. Of the five Wet’suwet’en clans, the Unist’ot’en were the first to officially declare themselves opposed to ALL pipelines being proposed to cross their traditional territories. Now the Likhts’amisyu, Tsayu, and Git’dum’den clans have followed suit and momentum is growing.

This article tells the story from the perspective of the Unist’ot’en and their allies at the Unist’ot’en Camp through the winter of 2012–3. It has been collectively produced by both indigenous and settler voices.
