A PO ferry was adrift in the North Sea for an hour this afternoon, it’s now safe thank goodness with no injuries to passengers or crew. It was apparently ‘not under control’ for an hour. How on earth can this company justify their sacking of experienced crew now this has happened. Look forward to you comments as always.

Wouldn't happen to French owned Brittany Ferries!

P and O used to stand for quality but doesn't seem to any more.
It must have been a bit scary.

I would not have anything to do that company after the way it behaved towards its staff.

Just one point - it was the Irish Sea, not the North Sea, but I quite agree that the lack of experienced staff must have had something to do with it.

I wouldn’t use this company at all. I wouldn’t feel safe. It’s just greed by the owners and not putting passengers safety first. It’s a shame as they operate a service from where I live to Rotterdam (for Amsterdam) and used to do a service to Zeebrugge for Bruges. We had been on it several times and was very popular. Ideal for a nice little short break.
