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. He continued, "I believe that there is a reasonable chance that those discussions will lead to a deal that is good for all of the parties, ourselves included, and most importantly,...

China Demands Its Shipping Giant Join Western-Led Panama Ports Deal A new report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that President Trump may be growing concerned—or is already alarmed—by this new development: Beijing is now demanding that China's largest shipping company, Cosco, be included in the Western-investor deal to purchase ports from Hong Kong–based CK Hutchison. The future of CK Hutchison's deal to sell two Panama ports—the Balboa and Cristóbal terminals (40 other ports worldwide)—to a BlackRock-led consortium is becoming increasingly complex with Beijing pushing for Cosco to join the group of investors...  Here's more from the report: China is pushing for state-owned Cosco to be an equal partner and shareholder of the ports with BlackRock and Mediterranean Shipping Co., a containership operator, according to people familiar with the deal talks. BlackRock and MSC in March reached a preliminary agreement to buy the ports in a deal valued at nearly $23 billion. Now, B...
