DP World buy out ABP’s shares in city terminal Tuesday, November 3, 2015 24 DAILY ECHO ONE of Southampton’s major port firms has se- cured its future in the city until 2047. DP World has bought out Asso- ciated British Port’s 49 per cent stake in its Southampton Termi- nal to become sole owners of the business. And the company has renewed its license agreement with ABP for another 25 years to continue operations in Southampton until 2047. Company chairman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: “We are delighted to announce the 25 year extension of the licence agreement for DP World South- ampton, which is one of the most efficient terminals in the UK and the only deep-sea container ter- minal on the south coast of Eng- land. Also, through full owner- ship of DP World Southampton, we will now be able to combine with DP World London Gateway, the newest deep-sea container terminal and logistics park at the heart of the UK’s biggest con- sumer markets, to offer our cus- tomers the best possible service, and long term growth, in the UK. A unique and very exciting prop- osition.” Group CEO Mohammed Sharaf added: “This news underlines our commitment to the UK and our ongoing presence in devel- oped markets as an important part of our global network. I look forward to the synergies that the two ports will bring to our operations and the contribution they make to the UK economy, infrastructure and local employ- ment.” DP World’s 86-hectare terminal in Southampton is the only deep sea container terminal on the south coast.

The deal provides a solid foundation for the contin- ued growth and development of the UK’s most productive con- tainer port.” It comes just weeks after the firm announced it was launch- ing a new service between the UK and Asia that would bring some of the world’s largest ships to Southampton.

Clients‘left infilth’ bycarers

A DAMNING report has revealeda catalogue of failings at a Hamp-shire company that providescare for vulnerable Winchesterresidents.Among the list of shockingfindings by inspectors from theCare Quality Commission wasevidence of clients left in theirown filth and staff who were nottrained.The inspection of Carewatch

(South Hampshire) carried outlast month also reported howstaff could not be sure exactlyhow many people they had ontheir books.The CQC rated the firm, whichis based in Chandlers Ford andprovides care for 221 people inWinchester, Eastleigh and An-dover, as inadequate in all areas

and ordered it to improve.Carewatch was awarded a newcontract by Hampshire CountyCouncil in January this year.Now politicians are calling for itto scrap the deal unless immedi-ate improvements are made.Council chiefs say they are nowreviewing the deal in light of thereport.The inspection was carried out

last month and the report wasreleased this week. It is the latestblow to the firm, which employs10,000 people in the country.In 2007 carer Sarah Merritt wasmurdered while on duty as shecarried out a routine visit to thehome of disabled client SusanHale in Southampton.Ms Hale was also found dead in-side the flat. Both had been mur-dered by her partner David Tiley,following his prison release.Continued on page 2

must ensure th

mitigate the ri

as part ofthe existing

that further roa
