HMM will transport relief goods and provide empty containers to support the earthquake victims in Türkiye.
In particular, the company started to transport 50 TEUs of relief goods from Busan in South Korea to Mersin in Türkiye on 3 March, and an additional 20 TEUs is scheduled to be loaded on 17 March.
The major ocean carrier also decided to deliver 150 free empty containers to accommodate the earthquake survivors. The boxes are expected to serve the purpose of temporary shelter for sufferers who lost their homes.
Separately, HMM will also carry some of the shipping containers in Qatar, which were used for the temporary residency in World Cup 2022. In addition, the Qatar government intended to donate the containers after the World Cup. HMM is going to ship 570 containers from Hamad, Qatar, to Iskenderun, Türkiye, using an MPV (Multi-Purpose Vessel).
