Ferry company P&O has issued a statement saying they are “not going into liquidation”.
However, they have confirmed there is an “announcement” to be made. In a brief statement issued on Thursday morning they did not say when that announcement is due.
The move came amid apparent ongoing issues. The firm tweeted earlier this morning: “Regretfully, P&O Ferries services are unable to run for the next few hours. Our Port Teams will guide you and travel will be arranged via an alternative operator.

It is understood some customers have been waiting since the early hours of the morning to board their ferry.
