P&O Ferries Suspends All Sailings Amid Major Shake-Up
The leading ferry operator on the Dover route, P&O Ferries, has halted all sailings and discharged all passengers today. The company announced the move ahead of what it calls a “major company announcement.”
All Ships Now Docked, Future Uncertain
Every P&O vessel is currently tied up in port with no trips underway. Passengers were forced off the ferries as sailings came to an abrupt stop.
Stena Line Reportedly Takes Over
Sources say Stena Line has purchased P&O Ferries, setting the stage for a major change in operations. The firm plans to use an agency to keep services running, allowing current P&O staff to apply for work through the agency.
