Oh I did not know that. So you are saying that DP World is not an United Arab Emirates corporation?


"Dubai Ports World (or DP World for short) is a company owned by the government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
In 2006, it agreed to purchase the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) of the United Kingdom, which was then the fourth largest ports operator in the world, for £3.9 billion ($7 billion), beating a bid from Singapore's PSA International of £3.5 billion. P&O is one of the most famous names in British business, having been the largest shipping operator in the world at one time. DP World has promised to keep P&O's headquarters in London.
DP Terminals was founded in 1999 and DP World was created by a merger between the Dubai Ports Authority (DPA) and an international business, DPI Terminals."
