Inside SM Line
SM Line was established in 2016 when South Korea’s SM Group acquired assets and services from the collapsed Hanjin Shipping, once a global top-ten carrier. It relaunched Korean-flag services on key transpacific and intra-Asia trades.
Today SM Line operates a focused network built around Korea’s export economy, blending transpacific reach with dense regional coverage.
“The Korean carrier that rose from Hanjin’s legacy.”
