A Hanjin Shipping Co. vessel began unloading its part of $14 billion worth of cargo Sept. 10 at the Port of Long Beach in California after a U.S. court granted the company a reprieve from having its assets seized, easing a cargo bottleneck resulting from the container line’s filing for bankruptcy protection.
