The number of Ports being
turned over to the Arab Company is much larger than the reported 6
...
The issue catching attention is an Arab Company purchase of
the British Company - P&O which was reported as managing 6 US Ports.
This will in effect, if implemented turn management of these ports
over to a Arab nation supported company.
But the actual impact of this Bush Administration approved
transaction exceeds what has been reported over and over in the
news.
The British Company being bought by an Arab county supported
company is P&O Ports.
P&O Ports operates an American subsidiary which manages
more than the reported 6 US Ports.
One area that they operate ports that should be of great
interest is the Gulf Coast. We all know how critical the Gulf Coast
is to our oil and gas production industry. So take a look at the
picture on the right for a list of ports in the Gulf Coast that will
be managed by the Arab Company.
Have not heard a word about this from the Administration or
from the media. But it is there for all to see at the British
Company's web site (click
here).
The Gulf Coast image above is right off of their web site.
The East Coast operations of P&O Ports also exceeds the
reported number of 6 US Ports as displayed by the image below - also
from the P&O web site.
It would seem to me that somewhere in our vast quantities of
government employees that are are supposed to be looking out for our
national security, at least one might have noticed that there are
more than 6 Ports and that there are at least 10 operations on the
very critical Gulf Coast.
In addition to freight handling operations P&O also is
involved in Passenger activities, quoting from their own material:
One of the major sites is
the historically renowned New York City Passenger Terminal,
Manhattan, where P&O Ports North America is the exclusive
provider of such services. Among its cruise line customers were
companies such as Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America,
Norwegian, Premier, Princess, Regal, Royal Caribbean and Royal
Cruise Lines.
Turning these operations over to a State owned company from
the Middle East does not help our national security. Of course open
borders doesn't help either, but the open border policies are
continued anyway.
