A portion of the $14 billion in cargo trapped at sea by the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd. began moving out of one California port Monday, and a second ship received orders to head to dock, after the turmoil created by the South Korean company's collapse.
Truckers began moving freight from the Hanjin Greece, one of roughly a dozen of the company's ships destined for the U.S. West Coast, out of the port of Long Beach Monday, following a U.S. bankruptcy court's grant of protection.
