消息人士透露，新加坡国际港务集团（PSA International）正考虑脱售所持香港上市公司长实和记（CK Hutchison）的20％股权，价值数以十亿美元计。路透社星期五（12月9日）引述两名熟悉此事的消息人士报道了这个消息。

新加坡国际港务集团（下称PSA）是淡马锡控股（Temasek Holdings）的独资公司，它经营世界第二繁忙的箱运码头，网络覆盖全球42个国家的160个地点。它是在2006年以44亿美元（约59亿新元）的价格买下这家以香港为总部的港务公司的这笔股权。长实和记是香港富商李嘉诚的一个业务集团。

Exclusive: Temasek's PSA considers multi-billion dollar exit from Hutchison Ports-sources

SINGAPORE, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Port operator PSA International, fully owned by Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings, is evaluating selling its multi-billion dollar, 20% stake in the ports business of CK Hutchison Holdings (0001.HK), two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

PSA, the world's second-biggest container terminal operator, whose global network encompasses 160 locations in 42 countries, had acquired the stake in the Hong Kong-based conglomerate's ports business for $4.4 billion in 2006.

PSA is in the early stages of exploring an exit from CK Hutchison's ports business and some potential bidders have been tapped, said the sources, who did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.

PSA declined to comment on a Reuters query and both Temasek and CK Hutchison, the conglomerate of retired billionaire Li Ka-shing, also declined to comment.

Reuters was not immediately able to ascertain the estimated valuation of PSA's stake being offered for sale.

The sources said PSA’s move comes as it reviews its portfolio in the backdrop of muted global shipping activity.
