NEW YORK] Panama’s comptroller general asked its Supreme Court to review the government’s contract extension with CK Hutchison’s local ports unit, potentially throwing a new wrench into the conglomerate’s deal to sell its global terminals business.

A Hong Kong conglomerate that’s selling ports at the Panama Canal says it may seek a Chinese investor to join a consortium of buyers.

CK Hutchison Holdings is in talks with a BlackRock-led consortium to include a strategic investor from China to push ahead with its plans to sell ports on either end of the Panama Canal.
