Portek and HPH unlock horns

Singapore’ s crane leasing, engineering and terminal operating group Portek International seems to have patched up its relationship with the Hong Kong HPH group. Hutchison reportedly decided to end certain equipment leasing and maintenance agreements when Portek apparently attempted to woo Maersk Sealand away from HPH’ s Tanjung Priok terminal in Jakarta to its own facility at PT Serbaguna. Although Maersk did announce the switch, it later changed its mind, although has since undertaken some ad hoc calls at the smaller terminal.
