    Have been a deck officer in the British Merchant Navy for 45 years and what amazed me here was what seemed to be a total lack of knowledge even by the senior personnel of Britain's maritime safety organisations. The whole industry, what's left of it, needs a serious looking into.

      What should be more amazing is the lack of maritime knowledge from the company itself. 3rd world flag and registration states/countries mean the company doesn't actually care about safety and wages.
      In Australia, P&O couldn't organise a free root in a brothel.

    @musicloverlondon6070 2 года назад +21

    What a sad mess for a company that's been going since 1844! It should be remembered that Peter Hebblethwaite hasn't acted independently or in isolation. He says that he didn't sign off on the decision. Certainly Christensen appears prodigiously unconcerned. The other guilty parties, who did sign it off, are conveniently faceless and appear unlikely to face any prosecution.
    P&O acting with such impunity suggests that their legal team have looked into it and are confident that they can get away with this. There seems to be a lack of clarity on the legality of it all, apparently due to a confusing tangle of international maritime and employment laws.
    If they do get away with this then we all need to be concerned about when our turn will come and just how much employment law in the UK really 'protects' us from this kind of corporate venality. The fact that their Pension Fund is in debt to around the same amount as that paid for the golf sponsorship shows where their priorities are. Boycotting P&O will only hurt the remaining staff. If laws have been broken then actual prosecutions (not mere resignations) need to take place.

    The behaviour of P&O is clearly reprehensible. For the management to openly admit to criminal behaviour must surely subject them to both financial penalty and presumably the threat of imprisonment.
    Forcing the company to close, however, simply removes a transport option for customers and gives P&O what it wanted; the opportunity to drop this loss maker like a hot brick but with no consequence to itself.. Rather than sink the company, I agree that P&O should lose its licence but it should also face a massive fine for what it did, the ships of its fleet should be confiscated and the company nationalised, pending potential sale to an alternative shipping company.

      Why go to the expense of having a Commons Committee hearing, when the damage has been done, the decision isn't going to be reversed, and to which, ultimately, they (the Committee) are so toothless, that they're going to do nothing about it!

    If P&O deliberately (and illegally) fires all its British staff to employ foreign staff at less-than-minimum-wages (leading to safety issues as they are also unfamiliar with the systems and difficulties of running in the most congested shipping channel in the world) and is owned entirely by a foreign entity that cares nothing about the wrongs of this, I would have to ask the question as to why the British public should continue to support it at all over any of its competitors.
    Maybe their minds cannot be changed on this. But the solution then is to totally strangle P&O with a boycott until it finally folds and goes out of business due to unprofitability. Why should we care anymore, now that it does not support British society at all? Stena Line, Brittany Ferries, Condor Ferries, DFDS and others all offer similar, perfectly good, methods of crossing and there is also the EuroTunnel.

    2 and a half weeks pay per year is quite shocking I'm no expert but I thought it was 1 month per year minimum?

    When asking the minimum wage the answer was 5.50 average an hour but not the lowest rate and the highest?

    These Mps are shocking. They have done absolutely no research. How much time was wasted by the coast guard explaining port and flag state control.
