P&O Ferries dramatically announced it would temporarily suspend operations yesterday (March 17), causing major disruptions at UK ports and popular routes such as Dover to Calais.
The ferry operator made the move before sacking 800 members of staff by video call, with plans to replace them with cheap agency staff.
As a result the company has suspended a number of operations and cancelled various routes 'for the next few days', although it hasn't confirmed when it expects services to resume.
