P&O: Second ferry detained over safety concerns
29 March 2022
A second P&O ferry has failed a safety inspection and been detained, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has said.
The Pride of Kent is one of eight ships to need inspections before re-entering service, after 800 staff were sacked.
The firm replaced staff with agency workers paid less than the minimum wage, but the government says it has prepared measures to block P&O's plans.
On Friday, another P&O ferry was held after being declared "unfit to sail".
The MCA was inspecting the Pride of Kent to make sure it was safe to go to sea without passengers or cargo.
