"On Sunday 30 October 2005 The Sunday Times reported that P&O was in takeover talks with Thunder FZE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai Ports World, a company owned by the government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. On 29 November, the P&O board announced that it would be recommending an offer of 443 pence per share, worth £3.3 billion (US$5.7 billion) to its shareholders.[13] In early December P&O regained its status as a FTSE 100 company when BPB plc was taken over. A bidding war commenced when Singapore's PSA International made a £3.5 billion offer, which Dubai Ports World then topped with a bid of £3.9bn (US$7bn).[14] Despite speculation that it would make a higher bid, PSA withdrew, and in February 2006 shareholders voted in favour of the offer from Dubai.[15] The combined group is the world's third largest ports operator." ;-)

"To double your money at £3 it needs to go to £6..."

Just heard on the news that over 20,000 russian refugees had crossed over into Georgia, fed up with Putrid's Russia. Let's hope they convince the Georgians that the Dream is over.

Just heard on the news that over 20,000 russian refugees had crossed over into Georgia, fed up with Putrid's Russia. Many are also going out via Finland as russian flights are banned into many countries.

So private companies don't have shareholders then? °¿°

BBC not showing us the true horror in Ukraine, I watched the Hong Kong news late last night showing a shell killing a family fleeing the attack... :-((

Well, that's what comes of buying cheap Chinese tyres... lol.

Sadly one is a response to " economic migrants" and one is to refugees fleeing certain death, but politicians can't grasp that... :-(

Looks like they were dancing about before Putrid's invasion...

"Tanker With Russian Gas for Boston Makes Mid-Atlantic U-Turn

(Bloomberg) -- Three weeks after picking up a controversial cargo in the U.K., a liquefied natural gas tanker made a U-turn one day before it was due to deliver it in Boston.

The Gaselys vessel that was set to arrive on the U.S. East Coast on Saturday is now heading back toward Spain’s port of Algeciras near Gibraltar, and should get there next week, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The vessel is carrying a cargo from storage tanks at a terminal near London, which earlier received the first fuel from the $27 billion Yamal LNG plant in Russia’s icy north."

"Although the UK has issued a ban that will prohibit all vessels with any connection to Russia from entering its ports, there is a loophole that allows cargo including oil and gas that has originated from Russia to continue to sail for ports in the UK.

A similar incident occurred yesterday, where a Russian oil tanker heading from the Russian port of Primorsk to Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, was forced to be diverted. Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford called the UK to action, urging them to “close any loopholes” that would enable companies to find ways around the UK ban on Russian associated vessels."

Thank you Looed, that's great news. ;-)

They've earned it..

Courts have to decide who owns it, and we need a licence extension signing....

You wouldn't catch Putrid doing this...
