Over 8000 passengers affected by BRITTANY FERRIES strike

BRITTANY FERRIES is a company in turmoil at the present, all Ferry services out of the UK from the ports of Portsmouth and Plymouth have been suspended indefinitely until further notice due to industrial action taken by members of the crew, some 8000 passengers have already been affected. BRITTANY FERRIES has been losing money for three consecutive years, the crew not happy with working terms and conditions have opted for industrial action. Talks are undergoing in Brittany between BF and unions in order to try and reach an agreement as early as the beginning of the coming week. BF has made special arrangements with P & O FERRIES and the newly formed MY FERRY LINK in order to accept all BF tickets, for an update on all the alternatives in place please click here. BRITTANY FERRIES has been part of my life for the past twenty years, I have sailed hundreds of times with BF, they are in my opinion the best Ferry company operating to and from the UK, so I am particulary worried with the dispute, I would hate to see a repeat of the SEAFRANCE situation, it won't come to that surely, trust common sense will prevail and situation will go back to normal in the next few days.
