Strike hit SeaFrance services still suspended
SeaFrance sailings between Dover and Calais remained suspended today as an Easter strike continued into its fifth day.
The French ferry company was forced to cancel sailings from Friday due to a dispute.
Members of the CFDT union walked out in a row over new working practices.
The company said sailings would continue to be suspended until 20.00 tonight (Tuesday).
A notice on its website said SeaFrance "profusely apologises" to customers affected.
"The advice is to arrive as normal and SeaFrance will transfer you to the first available crossing with an alternative operator," the company said.
The company normally runs up to 19 crossings a day on the short sea channel route.
*SeaFrance managing director Robin Wilkins has been appointed chairman of Discover Ferries which promotes travel by ferry as part of the Passenger Shipping Association.
