Panama Canal boss warns MSC ports deal threatens neutrality principle

This principle ensures equal access for all shipping companies regardless of nationality or cargo type.

Critics argue that such agreements might lead to preferential treatment for certain shipping firms, undermining the impartiality of global trade routes.
