The sale of operations of the container facilities is a UK transaction, something we cannot stop. All we could stop would be the contracts to operate the facilities in the US or P&O's operational license in the US. If we do block operational licenses, then we would need to fill in that gap with another company. How long would it take P&O to remove all their assets, another company to move their assets in, and completely hire new staff and renegotiate contracts with the dockworkers.

You are correct and these are issues. Sounds like a like a lot of work. I wonder if anyone is really up to the challenge.

I wonder if anyone is really up to the challenge..

There is the rub.. I wonder where the research is on the ChiCom company (PSA) that DPI outbid P&O for and their interest in derailing the deal? I wonder who has more interest in the ChiComs running the ports?
