"They were really trying to lay low on this one and I can understand why some would never thought they existed."

No they weren't. Eller & Co. was pursuing legal action because the terms of their contract concerning a joint venture with P & O were breached due to the impending sale to DP World.

And I do wonder, just how Eller & Co. is supposedly avoiding the longshoremen's union in their existing, leased terminal operations. Intuition says that they are not.

If you've not noticed we use to operate 100% of the terminals but now it's 20%, somethings wrong? A lot of companies have joint ventures where both benefit but it was P&O with the liability so Eller & Co. may not have needed to avoid the business. If an American company was so interested in the business then they would have placed bids.
