The State Department is behind this, it seems UAE has recently purchased a German company called MAERSK recently and this is how it all got started

UAE is also gaining divisons of CSX. Sea-Land (now MAERSK Sea-Land) was part of CSX.

Nope no conspiracy, just an old fashioned bidding war between the UAE(DP World) and a Singapore port company for control of P&O(Peninsular & Oriental) and the P&O shareholders took the DP World offer.

DUBAI/LONDON: Gulf-state backed Dubai Ports World declared victory in a $6.8 billion bidding war for UK ports group P&O after Singaporean rival port operator PSA International withdrew from the field on Friday. Dubai Ports said it was confident P&O shareholders would back its 3.9 billion pound ($6.8 billion) bid at a meeting next week, giving it control of P&O ports on six continents and creating the world's third-largest ports group.

You may have qualms of DPWorld winning, but let's put to rest that this was some deep dark conspiracy.

Now, I find it INTERTESTING that the President's nominee to be Administrator of the Maritime Administration of the Department of Transportation, is ALSO Director of Operations for Europe and Latin America at DP World!

AND, he was at SeaLand as Director for Operations! And Maersk and SeaLand MERGED?!?!

The INSIDE connections to get this deal thru are STAGGERING!
