History

Hanjin began at the end of World War II, on 1 November 1945. Early on its biggest customer was the U.S. Army, providing the transportation of material to both Korea and Vietnam. The company signed a major contract with the US 8th Army in November 1956, and another contract in March 1966, with all of the U.S. armed forces in Vietnam, including the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In November 1969, Hanjin made its entry in the containerized shipping business signing a deal with Sea Land Service, Inc. It opened its first container yard less than a year later, in September 1970, at the port of Pusan.
