No Panama Port Deal For CK Hutchison And BlackRock This Year
The $19 billion sale of CK Hutchison's 43 global ports, including two strategically vital ports on the Panama Canal (Balboa and Cristóbal terminals), to a BlackRock-led consortium is far from completion, mired in the crossfire of US-China trade and geopolitical tensions.
CK Hutchison co-managing director Frank Sixt told Wall Street analysts during its interim earnings results earlier today that the deal's complexity means it likely won't be completed this year, especially after China demanded earlier this summer that its largest shipping company, Cosco, be included in the Western-investor deal.
"We are in a new stage of our deal and that includes, as we have said, discussions with a major strategic Chinese investor," Sixt said.

About 10 years ago, Louis Sola's family maritime business was given a concession to build a marina and cruise port on Amador, a causeway located at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal.
