I'm curious why there wasn't an eligible and interested US company in the bidding for this deal.

We're all curious about that. I have no answer. British company held the sale.

It's not about bidding on any deal. It's about the buyout of P&O by DPW. DPW will assume all of P&O's leases.

No American company bid enough to buy P&O.

Because no company in the United States does this kind of contract or work. Maybe Halliburton?
