P&O Ferries has axed its plans to restart a number of key ferry routes this weekend, just a couple of days after it said it was ready to get them going again.

P&O Ferries has relaunched operations after appointing foreign crews on an average £5.50 an hour

The line’s services have been suspended since it sacked nearly 800 of its UK seafarers last month and sought to replace them with lower paid agency workers instead.


On Wednesday (6 April), P&O Ferries said it was ready to restart several "vital services" at the weekend, including its Dover-Calais route.


However, on Friday morning (8 April), the line tweeted: "All P&O Ferries passenger services are suspended this weekend. For travel 8/9/10 April, please rebook directly with another operator before arriving at the port."
