P&O Ferries has announced it is preparing to restart sailings “from this weekend” on routes suspended since it sacked nearly 800 seafarers. The firm revealed plans to resume operations for four of its ships.
It has been prevented from running all but one of its vessels since it announced widespread redundancies on March 17. The company sparked outrage by replacing its crews with cheaper agency workers, without notice.
A spokesman for the firm said: “From this weekend, P&O Ferries are getting ready to resume services across a number of vital routes. P&O has been working closely with regulators to ensure our ships are safe to sail.
