A P&O ferry has been detained in Northern Ireland after being deemed "unfit to sail" just days after hundreds of UK staff were suddenly sacked.
The European Causeway vessel has been held in the Northern Ireland port due to "failures on crew familiarisation, vessel documentation and crew training", the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said he will not compromise the safety of P&O vessels and insisted that the company will not be able to rush training for inexperienced people.
