#HMMnews | The Dallas Heart Walk has become a beloved tradition for HMM America! This year, with fun activities like Penny Wars, raffles, and bake sales, HMM America raised over $3,000 for the American Heart Association (AHA), while HMM HQ contributed an additional $50,000 in support. On walk day, HMM America proudly represented HMM in branded gear, enjoying the day with colleagues and families. We believe small steps lead to big change, and the dedication of our local staff shows how we can create a world filled with hope. "Walking through downtown Dallas was unforgettable, especially with our logo lighting up the skyline during the VIP Experience. We can’t wait for next year!" – Ally Bogan, HMM America ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #America #Dallas #AHA #DallasHeartWalk

Focus on the positive and positive results will follow." by Dionne Lindstrom, HMM America ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #USA #HMMAmerica #global 

Among the cargoes shipped on vessels, there are certain types of Special Cargo that require extra care and attention. 🏗 𝗢𝗢𝗚(𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗲) 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗼 includes oversized or heavy items that do not fit into a standard container, often loaded onto a single flat-rack, super-rack, or open-top container instead. Special equipment and extra precautions are needed for secure lashing and handling. ⚙ 𝗕𝗕(𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗸) 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗼 refers to large, heavy, or irregularly shaped items that cannot be containerized, often requiring individual handling. These items are typically lashed onto multiple flat-rack or super-rack containers, demanding specialized expertise during loading. ⚠️ 𝗗𝗚(𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀) 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗼 consists of hazardous items that could harm the surroundings, such as chemicals, explosives, flammable materials, etc. These require strict handling, labeling, and compliance with international safety regulations. At HMM, our experts are here to ensure your special cargo is handled with the highest level of care. We also offer regular briefings to guide our customers and teams through the details of shipping and managing these complex types of cargo. Let’s make your shipping experience smooth and efficient as possible! ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #OOG #BB #DG #SpecialCargo

Our brand-new 13,000 TEU containerships are almost all in line! This is HMM Opal, the 11th vessel in our series of 12 brand-new 13K containerships. Named after the opal, the birthstone of November, it symbolizes our dedication to treating our customers' cargo as precious jewels. This 13K series is equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS), Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) connections for shore power, electric heaters, etc., designed to meet the EEDI standards, reducing carbon emissions compared to previous models. HMM Opal is ready to set sail on the PSX (Pacific South Express) route, connecting major ports in Korea and Shanghai to Los Angeles and more. With the deployment of this 13K vessel on a route previously serviced by vessels in the 8,600-10,000 TEU range, we expect to offer a substantial increase in capacity. 🛳 Carrying capacity of approximately 13,000 TEU 🌱 Designed for Eco steaming, it boasts lower emissions and greater fuel efficiency than comparable vessels 🌿 LNG-ready structure for potential conversion to LNG propulsion ⚓ PSX calling ports are: Shanghai (China) – Gwangyang (South Korea) – Busan (South Korea) – Los Angeles (USA) – Oakland (USA) – Busan (South Korea) – Gwangyang (South Korea) – Incheon (South Korea)

#HMMnews | The original opera Turandot from Verona, Italy, will be performed in Seoul, marking the first performance in South Korea by the Arena di Verona in 101 years!

#HMMnews | Last year, HMM successfully completed the trial operation of H.Tacoma, a 6,300 TEU containership, by supplying it with marine biofuel for the first time in Korea, at the Port of Busan. This biofuel is produced by blending waste-based (wasted cooking oil, vegetable oils, and animal fats) biodiesel with bunker fuel, offering the advantage of being usable without modifying existing engines. Starting in Q2 this year, we began supplying biofuel at the Port of Singapore as well. In September, we successfully supplied 2,300 tons of biofuel to the 6,800 TEU vessel H.Bangkok. The HSFO B24 blend, consisting of 24% biodiesel and 76% bunker fuel, reduces carbon emissions by around 19% compared to traditional fuels. HMM will continue expanding the use of alternative fuels and investing in efforts toward carbon neutrality. Reducing carbon emissions from our fleet is a responsibility we take seriously, and our commitment to carbon neutrality will persist.🚢🌿 ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #biofuel #ecofriendly #CarbonNeutrallity

Last week, HMM OOG & Break Bulk Team hosted a briefing for our customers at headquarters. As the only shipping company in Korea with a dedicated special cargo division, we organized this event to help customers better understand the complexities of this business, which requires greater expertise than general container operations. The briefing covered key topics such as handling OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo and important precautions during transportation, etc. The event aimed to boost inquiries about our special cargo services by providing valuable insights and simplifying technical information. ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #OOG #BB

#HMMnews | HMM Thailand organized two meaningful ESG initiatives recently, demonstrating our commitment to environmental sustainability and community support. The first project, 'We Carry the Dream,' was held at Wat Nakaraj School, where our team provided scholarships, school supplies, and donations including essential items like rice, fans, and lunch for the students. This initiative helped bring joy to the local children and supported the school’s efforts. The second project, 'Save the Ocean,' took place at the Samaesarn Marine Science and Conservation Camp, where HMM Thailand participated in coral reef restoration efforts. Our team learned about marine biodiversity and actively planted coral to help restore the ocean’s ecosystem. Both projects reflect HMM’s dedication to driving positive social and environmental impact. Way to go, HMM Thailand! ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #ESG #HMMThailand #donations #coral #planting

Say hello to the global HMM crew! "One of my favorite things is going to the beach. There's something incredibly soothing about the sound of the waves and the feel of the sand between my toes. I also deeply love nature, which I express through hiking and walking. Exploring scenic trails, breathing in the fresh air, and admiring the natural world's beauty is incredibly rejuvenating." by Loriza Latif, HMM London ㅡ #HMM #shipping #marine #Philippines #HMMPhilippines #global
