Considering they paid out a 270 million dividend in 2020 whilst claiming 10 million furlough, I'd happily see them go to the wall. They'll leave a gap in the Ferry market that will be filled by others.
Isn't that the parent company, DP World, paying dividends on its global profits? And isn't it a business principle that loss-making subsidiaries have to be turned round or closed?

It's typical of the rag press to come up with meaningless comparisons like that.

The real point is that the Guvmin should not allow P&O ferries to dock if their staff and paid at least the UK minimum wage. That will necessarily shake things up, fares will no doubt rise - and then we'll start whinging again about those fares!
