CK Hutchison Holdings has initiated arbitration in London against A.P. Moller-Maersk following Panama’s takeover of its Balboa and Cristobal ports, according to a company statement. The case, filed by its unit Panama Ports Co., is separate from a more than $2 billion damages claim against the Panamanian government. The dispute escalates tensions after Panama appointed Maersk’s APM Terminals as interim operator of one port. The takeover has become entangled in US-China tensions, with Beijing opposing the move and related asset sales. CK Hutchison’s plan to sell 43 global terminals for over $19 billion to a consortium including BlackRock and MSC remains uncertain amid geopolitical and legal risks.
