Hutchison Whampoa to operate radiation detector in the Bahamas
The Bush administration has awarded a contract for operation of a U.S. radiation detector at the Port of Freeport in the Bahamas, to the giant terminal operations company Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.
The contract has attracted the attention of port security critics, who note Hutchison received a no-bid contract to operate the detector.
It is noteworthy that Hutchison, the world's largest terminal operator, built the Port of Freeport as a massive 'green field' project in the 1990s. The terminal is a major Caribbean transshipment point used exclusively by Hutchison customers.
