I don't think the EU Port Services Regulations had anything to do with what P&O Ferries have done here. The Regulations are not primarily concerned with employment matters, although Article 9 does provide that ports must require the designated provider of port services to grant staff working conditions in accordance with applicable obligations in social and labour law and to comply with social standards as set out in Union law, national law or collective agreements.

What P&O Ferries has done is breach the UK's employment law, and so however you look at this, it was unlawful before Brexit and it remains unlawful now.
