P&O ferry services between Larne and Cairnryan “remain suspended”, the company said this morning.
The ferry firm tweeted the message shortly after 9am on Saturday.
However the update comes after the Larne vessel was “released from detention” following a safety inspection. It is unclear why the service remains suspended and P&O have been contacted for comment.

In their tweet, the firm said: “#POLarne #POCairnryan Services remain suspended. It is no longer possible for us to arrange travel via an alternative operator on this route. For essential travel, customers are advised to seek alternatives themselves…”
Last night the PA news agency reported that the P&O ferry at Larne had been released from detention after being re-inspected by maritime officials.
The European Causeway was detained in the port town last month following almost 800 workers being laid off by the company.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the reinspection took place at the request of P&O.
A spokesperson for the MCA said: “The European Causeway has been released from detention following a reinspection of the ferry over the past two days.
“There are no further inspections of P&O Ferries planned for the weekend.”
