British maritime authorities detained another vessel operated by P&O Ferries on Tuesday owing to “a number of deficiencies.”
The vessel, Spirit of Britain, which normally operates across the English Channel between Dover, England, and Calais, France, is the third vessel detained by the Maritime and Coastguard Authority (MCA) since the UK’s Transport Secretary Grant Shapps ordered the agency to carry out detailed inspections of all P&O vessels following the company’s abrupt dismissal and replacement of almost 800 seafarers on March 17.
