So some of you may have heard that HanJin, the worlds 7th largest shipping company filed for bankruptcy protection. So if you happen to be importing things that are on one of hanjins ships, you probably won't be getting your product anytime soon. Here is a list of ships that can't be let into ports.

(not a fool proof list, but close enough)

Basically Hanjin can't pay the fees for the ships to enter the ports so they can't be granted access into the ports. Hanjin says "Don't ask us to pay, because we cant", so containers full of things are stuck outside of ports.

Anything that accepts containers is most likely affiliated with the largest shipping companies out there.
