I don't know how relevant this really is, but this is almost certainly the same state run port management firm that runs the Dubai dry docks in the UAE. Those dry docks are considered secure enough that the US military has routinely put its ships there for repair. The USS Stark was repaired there after being severely hit during the Iran-Iraq war..

It's also the same management company that was managing these drydocks on March 27, 2002 when one of the sea gates failed, causing a wall of water to rush in, killing scores of workers. I don't know if mismanagement contrbuted to the accident, but it's something to consider. Maybe worker safety standards aren't the same there that they are here.
