In 2025, the port terminals of the CK Hutchison Holdings group in Hong Kong handled a record container traffic equal to to 90.1 million TEUs, with an increase of +3% on the year previous. In particular, the terminals of Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPH Trust), of which the group holds approximately 30.1% of the 23.0 million TEUs (+3%), while the terminal of Hutchison Ports, of which it holds 80% of the capital, handled a record traffic of about 67.1 million TEUs (+3%), including new historical peaks in volumes handled in China and Hong Kong, amounting to 14.2 million TEUs (+6%), and in Asia, Australia and other regions, amounting to 36.5 million TEUs (+3%), while the traffic handled in European terminals has dropped by -1% to 16.4 million TEUs.

Today, CK Hutchison announced that in 2025, the the group's ports generated revenues of 48.9 billion Hong Kong dollars (US$6.2 billion), with a increase of +8% on the previous year. The value of the EBITDA relating to these activities amounted to €17.4 billion (+8%) and that of operating profit to €12.8 billion billion Hong Kong dollars (+8%).

Commenting on these results, the president of the Chinese group, Victor T K Li, highlighted the main events that have recently characterized the company's activity, starting from from the negotiations still underway for the sale of most of the Equity investments in the Group's global port activities. The reference is to the negotiations with the consortium led by Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and BlackRock originally focused on the possible acquisition of 80% of the share capital of Hutchison Ports and 90% of the capital of the Panamanian subsidiary Panama Ports Company ( of 4 March 2025). In addition, Li recalled the legal dispute in with the Panamanian State that have been caused - he specified - by "geopolitical pressures" and which had as their the seizure of assets and equipment from the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal operated by Panama Ports Company following the judgment of the Panamanian Supreme Court of Justice which declared the unconstitutionality of the law on the contract of concession of the two ports ( of 30 January and 23 February 2026). The seizure action has caused C.K. Hutchison to submit the matter to regulated international arbitration by the International Chamber of Commerce. He pointed out that this controversy "has also complicated the ongoing discussions with potential counterparties on possible new arrangements for the disposal of stakes in global port activities of the group outside Panama, Hong Kong and China continental", thus suggesting that even if BlackRock, as speculated by various sources, should take over the two Panamanian ports, the management of which has now been awarded to APM Terminals of the Maersk shipping group and to the Terminal Investment Limited (TiL) of the same shipping group MSC, the Panamanian "case" is having negative effects also on the negotiations for the sale of the remaining and much more substantial port portfolio of the Chinese group.
