    When Hanjin Shipping filed for bankruptcy, it came as a shock to some but a warning to many: after years of financial support to keep ailing companies afloat, the South Korean government was prepared to take a tougher line — even when it meant global logistical chaos. Hanjin’s move to seek bankruptcy protection last month was the first time a big container shipping line had done so for 30 years, and it caught out many in the industry. As recently as a couple of months ago, shipping executives considered the failure of Hanjin Shipping — the world’s seventh-largest container line and South Korea’s largest — unthinkable. Hanjin Shipping and its rival Hyundai Merchant Marine handled the bulk of South Korea’s exports, which account for more than half of the country’s $1.4tn economy. But Hanjin was left with little option after creditors including the state-run Korea Development Bank refused it further financing — on the grounds that lending more would be like “pouring water into a broken jar”, according to KDB’s chairman.
