Passengers hoping to sail home from France are facing huge delays as services are suspended or cancelled due to strike action among port workers.

The Port of Calais is facing severe disruption due to today’s industrial action at the French port.

The Port of Dover remains open, and it is understood Dunkirk is unaffected.

Earlier P&O Ferries announced their check-in at Calais was suspended but in the last hour it has reopened.

The company has assured passengers who miss their departure that they will be put on the next available ferry.

A spokesman said: “Industrial action is still ongoing so we anticipate disruption which may slow our processing times. Please plan for a wait on arrival, we will get you checked in as quickly as possible.”

Irish Ferries and DFDS Seaways are also experiencing disruptions, with some ferries being cancelled..
