Ferries crossing the Channel between Calais and Dover have been forced to deal with major disruption after workers at the French port took part in industrial action.
P&O Ferries, Irish Ferries, and DFDS have all cancelled, delayed or rerouted journeys due to the strikes, which have occurred due to a national dispute over pension reforms.
This morning, P&O warned customers that its check-in was currently suspended because of the disrupiton.
“Rest assured if you miss your booked departure, we will get you on the next available," a statement said.
Passengers have been told to use the toilet facilities before arriving at Calais' port and said to “plan for a wait on arrival”.
So far, Irish Ferries has had to cancel four of its sailings, while DFDS switched all its journeys to between Dover and Dunkirk, the port being 30 miles east of Calais.
Shares in Carnival PLC (LSE:CCL), the owner of P&O, slipped a little over 2% on Friday
