The case recounts the expertise of the Dubai government-owned marine terminal operator, Dubai Ports World, when it tried to take over the American operations of P&O in 2005-2006.
It describes how, in the political environment following the 9/11 attacks, the prospect of a Middle Eastern-owned business taking over and managing terminal services in some 20 US ports generated such powerful political opposition (notably in Congress) that, despite strong support from President George W. Bush, the business ultimately removed its takeover bid.
