This case scenario narrates the knowledge of Dubai government-owned marine terminal operator, the Dubai Ports World, when it attempted to take over the American businesses of P&O in 2005-2006.
It depicts how, in the supporting environment ensuing the 9/11 attacks, the prospect of a Middle Eastern-owned business taking over and running terminal services in some 20 US ports generated such authoritative political confrontation (notably in Congress) that, regardless of tough support from President George W. Bush, the firm finally detached its takeover bid.
