Members,

Please see update on Hanjin Lease containers.

Operations Update of Hanjin Switzerland v.0003W on AW8 Service Lane
Dear Valued Customer,
Please be informed that Hanjin Switzerland v.0003W will call and discharge cargoes at Global
Terminals & Container Services(GCT). Upon discharge at GCT, barge service will then transport
the cargoes to Maher Terminal as originally intended where you will be able to pick up your
cargo. Due to the high volume of cargo affected by this operation, in tandem with the inability
to prioritize barge service, you may experience some delay in receiving your cargo at Maher.

Below is current vessel schedule of Hanjin Switzerland v.0003W:
