Leading ferry firm P&O Ferries has suddenly suspended all its sailings ahead of a 'major company announcement.'
The company released a statement that says it will be making a 'major announcement' today that will 'secure the long-term viability' of the firm. It has asked all its vessels to discharge passengers and cargo.
Ferries from Liverpool, Hull, Cairnryan in Scotland and Dover have been affected by the suspensions. The alert was flagged on INRIX, the traffic and travel monitoring programme. It read: 'Service suspended on P and O Ferries between Dover and Calais, between Cairnryan and Larne, between Hull and Rotterdam and between Liverpool and Dublin due to operational incident."
