CK Hutchison 자회사, 파나마 항만 분쟁 중 20억 달러 중재 청구 제출

홍콩 CK Hutchison Holdings의 자회사가 2월 법원 판결 후 법적 조치 예고에 이어 정부의 파나마 운하 두 항만 압류와 관련해 파나마로부터 20억 달러를 요구하는 중재 청구를 제기했다. Panama Ports Company(PPC)는 당국의 불법 인수를 비난하며 국제상공회의소를 통해 전액 배상을 추구할 것이라고 밝혔다.

파나마의 발보아와 크리스토발 항만 압류를 비난한 2월 성명에 이어, CK Hutchison Holdings 자회사인 Panama Ports Company(PPC)는 금요일 국제상공회의소 규칙에 따라 파나마 정부를 상대로 20억 달러 배상 청구를 제출했다고 발표했다. 파나마 운하 양 끝에 위치한 이 항만들은 파나마 대법원이 PPC의 2021년부터 2047년까지 특허를 연장한 법률을 위헌으로 판결한 후 2월에 압류됐다. PPC는 이러한 조치를 법률, 계약, 조약을 위반한 '불법 인수'라고 묘사했다. “PPC와 CK Hutchison은 물러서지 않을 것—파나마 국가의 급진적 위반과 반투자자 행위로 인한 모든 권리와 손해를 주장할 것”이라고 회사는 밝혔다. PPC는 당국이 언론에 청구 금액을 잘못 보고했다고 비난하며 전액 배상을 추구할 것임을 강조했다. 이 분쟁은 파나마에서의 외국인 투자자 위험을 강조하며, PPC는 진행 중인 법적 절차 속에서 권리를 유지할 것이라고 밝혔다.

Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison, the conglomerate led by the family of tycoon Li Ka-shing, has pledged to pursue its rights through global legal action while condemning Panama’s “confiscatory actions”. This is the group’s second statement in a week, following the Panama Maritime Authority’s takeover of the Balboa and Cristobal ports at either end of the Panama Canal under a presidential decree. The move came after a Supreme Court ruling last month that declared unconstitutional the law approving the concession held by CK Hutchison’s subsidiary, Panama Ports Company.
