The South Korean shipping company made an operating profit of KRW96.8bn ($85m) in the third quarter but the appreciation of the Korean Won against the US Dollar resulted in a foreign currency translation loss pushed it into the red at a bottomline level
The loss reported by Hanjin was, however, narrower than the third quarter of 2011 of $86m.
For the first nine months of 2012 Hanjin reported a loss of $386.9m compared to a $500.6m loss in the same period in 2011.
