Thank you for the information. I was unaware that these companies were involved with ports having a great deal of military activity.

DP World actually manages the port services in the UAE port that is our primary point for logistical supply to our troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Add to that, they maintain port services for a fleet of U.S. Navy ships that is the largest outside of the U.S. itself; this includes vital forward area maintenance. Another messure of our relationship with them...all of our military personnel having time off there feel welcomes and with allies.

Also keep in mind, DP World has been working directly with us for a long time now on improving our port security. They were the first nation to agree to our demands on improving buld cargo traffic into the U.S.

With their assistance we're working on technology that will make it possible for us to inspect 100% of all cargo container traffic coming into this country.

They openly support the practice and public worship of other religions, including Christianity and the Hebrew faith.
