OK, so you now have yourself a problem.

How do you get DP World out of there? Legally, they own the facilities and hardware onsite. Legally, if you constrain them from operating their property, they can simply strip it out of there, and those ports will be closed for good. (That's because, in one swift move, you will have introduced political risk on a par with the worst of the Third World into investment in America. Nobody's going to pony up billions of dollars if there's even the slightest risk that the investment will be nationalized, either de jure or de facto, on top of our asinine tax and regulatory policies.)
