The billionaire owners of the MSC shipping empire, Gianluigi Aponte and his son Diego Aponte, are reportedly considering excluding two Panama ports from their massive $22.8 billion acquisition of port assets from CK Hutchison.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the Apontes, who control Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), are looking to proceed with the majority of the deal—covering terminals at 41 ports across five continents—while ongoing issues related to the Panama Canal ports are addressed separately. The discussions aim to prevent delays in finalizing the broader agreement while resolving disputes tied specifically to the two Panama facilities.
