The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) is a major international logistics and transport company founded in 1837. Its fastest growing business is the development of container ports around the world. P&O provides cold logistics services internationally and is the leading ferry operator in the UK. It owns half of P&O Nedlloyd, one of the world's largest container shipping lines. P&O also has some international property development interests.

It's all hands on deck as The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O). The Eurotunnel torpedoed P&O's cross-Channel ferry dominance, prompting it to merge ferry operations with rival Stena Line. Subsidiary P&O Ports is one of the world's leading port operators, with stakes in about two dozen container terminals and cargo-handling and other operations in more than 100 ports in 18 countries. P&O's cold logistics unit provides temperature-controlled warehousing and distribution services. Although DP World has been given the green light to acquire P&O by the UK-based company's shareholders, opposition by US lawmakers may muddy the deal that was once expected to close in early 2006.

Notice the negative earnings. Where would they get the Billion Dollars to upgrade their security?

The other bidder for P&O was Singapore based PSA. Would that be better for our security?
