If I'm reading this correctly, the contractor is a company, not the UAE government. And the contractor has no control over global shipping manifests. Etc. etc. etc. (See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1583769/posts?q=1&&page=1#1)
Yep!
But expect to be attacked by the people who just two days ago discovered their love for Arab nations.
Yes, but it is an UAE company...so the only objections is because DP World is government own? I heard it's a private company that is heavily subsidized by the UAE government. The same way the EU subsidizes Airbus.
From article: "ADSB completed the repairs while the ship was docked in Jebel Ali Port, about 50 miles north of Abu Dhabi. A team of ADSB specialists and supervisors was dispatched to Jebel Ali from the company’s Abu Dhabi location and worked for several weeks to complete the required work on the vessel."
The work was done in the ME.
UAE is a kingdom..........EVERTHING is owned by the king, thus, is owned by the govenment....including the shipyards, port business, local grocer, etc., etc...........
