Trent Lott says a lot of things. I am very curious to see what happens here. As with the DP World mess, my question is, is this company reliable in its security record?

Rex Kickass Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Is this even a US port they're being hired for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, the situation seems a little odd to me. It LOOKS like the U.S. would essentially route cargo through a Bahamas port to be scanned, before arriving at US ports. Sounds good from a security standpoint, but adds extra cost for cargo carriers. And I wonder how residents of the Bahamas feel about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
