DP World & Investment/Economic Zones: a cautionary tale...

Ecuador, 16th September, DP World signed an MoU on commercial collaboration between 2 ZEDE: Posorja and Litoral.

I urge everyone to subscribe to @PrivateEyeNews to support investigative journalism.
On this occasion, it's too important not to reveal the full facts published: the policing of activity in London Thames Gateway has been handed to *P&O Ferrymasters Ltd* 1/8 P&O Ferrymasters Ltd is the logistics arm of P&O Ferries Group, whose parent company is, of course, DP World - the owner-operator of this Special Economic Zone.
P&O Ferries Group were responsible for the summary, and rule-breaking, sacking of 800 employees. 2/8
