History

In 2005, HPH was the largest port operator in the world, with a 33.2 million TEU throughput, and 8.3% world market share.

In April 2006, Hutchison Whampoa sold a 20% share of Hutchison Port Holdings Limited to PSA International for $US4.4 billion, retaining ownership of the remaining 80%.

In 2011, some of the assets was spin-off as a listed company as Hutchison Port Holdings Trust; the listed company was incorporated as a business trust under Singapore's Business Trusts Act.

In September 2016, HPH rebranded its network as Hutchison Ports.

In December 2016, the Chornomorsk commercial seaport in western Ukraine, signed a cooperation agreement with Hutchison Ports. Among the agreed upon points are the company's entry into the port as a terminal operator as of 2017. Hutchison will provide expert consultative services to reform and improve Ukraine's port industry.
