Hanjin Shipping, South Korea's biggest container line, is roiling the supply chain for goods. After Hanjin filed for bankruptcy protection, about half its fleet was stranded. While one ship has been unloaded at a US port on Monday, many are still at sea. Ports in the US, Asia and Europe have turned the ships away. Shares of Hanjin, have lost about two-thirds of their value this year. Here's a chart on Hanjin Shipping in crucial numbers:

97 container ships in fleet
