...Mokhtar can compete with the world's best and win. In 2001, PTP lured Maersk?the world's largest shipping line?away from the super-efficient Port Authority of Singapore. And to show it wasn't a one-hit wonder, PTP took away another big prize, the Taiwan carrier Evergreen, earlier this year. "It isn't just about low cost," Sidek says.
