It is being reported that all P&O Ferries sailing staff have been made redundant after the company suspended operations this morning.
ITV News has reported that all sailing staff have been made redundant with immediate effect. The company will use an agency to keep their ferries running and current staff will be able to apply to the agency for work, reports suggest.
