Hanjin Shipping Co., South Korea’s biggest container carrier, plans to raise about 410 billion won ($357 million) selling assets amid a debt revamp as a prolonged industry slump and low freight rates weigh on earnings.

The company proposes to sell its stakes in its bulk-shipping and other units as well as some property and brand rights, it said in an e-mailed statement Monday. It will also seek to restructure its ship financing debt and bonds sold to individual investors.
