\"\"Around 1,100 workers at P&O Ferries are to be made redundant as part of a plan to make the business \u201cviable and sustainable\u201d, the company said.<\/p>\n

The proposal involves more than a quarter of the workforce losing their jobs.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for P&O Ferries said: \u201cSince the beginning of the crisis, P&O Ferries has been working with its stakeholders to address the impact of the loss of the passenger business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now clear that right-sizing the business is necessary to create a viable and sustainable P&O Ferries to get through Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegrettably, therefore, due to the reduced number of vessels we are operating and the ongoing downturn in business, we are beginning consultation proceedings with a proposal to make around 1,100 of our colleagues redundant.\u201d<\/p>\n
