P&O ferry released from detention after being reinspected by maritime officials

A P&O ferry has been released from detention after being reinspected by maritime officials, it was announced on Friday.

The European Causeway was detained in Larne, Northern Ireland last month following the sacking of almost 800 workers by the company.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the reinspection took place at the request of P&O.

“There are no further inspections of P&O Ferries planned for the weekend.”
