It was a sure bet Panama's highest court would annul CK Hutchison Holdings (1 HK)'s  Panama Ports Company (PPC) port contracts. Less clear are the next steps. 
The Panamanian government has tapped AP Moeller - Maersk A/S (MAERSKB DC)'s APM Terminals as the temporary administrator - or "neutral stabiliser" - via a phased handover of the ports.
PPC has already indicated it will seek a "clarification" of the ruling. And CKH can still sue the Republic of Panama in international tribunals.


CKH (1 HK): The Courts (Predictably) Annul The Panama Concessions. Now What?

<ul>
<li>Panama’s Supreme Court is expected to make a decision shortly on whether <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/ck-hutchison-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:132:1" rel="noopener">CK Hutchison Holdings (1 HK)</a> ("CKH") will retain the concessions to operate two key Panama Canal ports.</li>
<li>CKH and Panama's Comptroller hold diametrically opposite views on the legitimacy of the 2021 licence renewal and operational compliance/status of these ports. To categorise the situation political is an understatement.</li>
<li>The (largely) expected Panamanian pushback appears factored in, with the market looking further afield to the sale of the remaining 41 global ports. CKH is trading full here. </li>
