Management of the ports by an Dubai firm is no different than from London. The checks just look different. They're all owned by three old guys in Berne anyway.

Security at the ports is another issue and that they can't control. The unions just don't want to have to threaten a company owned by folks who don't worry about manners when it comes to extortion.

Better than 90% of international trade through these ports is false/foreign flagged and that is where the danger has always been.

The Dubai Company is owned by the UAE Government. The London Company is not.
