The publication of a Panama 
PA Supreme Court ruling has led to the immediate annulment of port concessions held by the Panama Ports Company (PPC), a subsidiary of Hong Kong 
HK based CK Hutchison Holdings Limited . Following the finalization of the ruling on February 24, 2026, the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) and other Panamanian authorities entered the Balboa terminal and the Cristobal terminal to take possession of the facilities.
