P&O agency crew that replaced sacked staff 'may do 144 round trips without time off'

Agency crew hired by P&O Ferries to replace sacked workers could do “up to 144 round trips” before having time off, a union has claimed.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) workers’ union highlighted what it alleges are “profound safety issues”with the staffing of P&O’s vessels.

P&O’s ferries between Liverpool and Dublin have restarted, although the route was unaffected.
