Panama terminal operator says work stoppage report is false Panama Ports Co., owned by Hutchison Port Holdings, said no crane operators were on strike last week at its Port of Balboa and Port Cristobal container terminals on each end of the Panama Canal, as had been reported by Reuters.
   Tugboat workers not affiliated with the containers did take some labor action, but it did not effect operations at the two terminals, the company said. The clarification added that there were no delays unloading or loading cargo vessels.
