I’m sorry but P&O has well and truly shot that fox.
They broke the law. They knew they were breaking the law. And they’re openly bribing their (ex) employees to try to avoid the consequences. Trying to turn this into a Brexit/EU/Bumbling Boris story is just silly.

Why are you resorting to strawmen, Chris? I've not mentioned Brexit or the EU on this thread as they're not relevant. 
This is about the difference in countries' national laws and P&O exploiting the weaker UK laws in an unscrupulous manner.

I gave you a menu of your three favourite obsessions. You and I both know which one you’ve plumped for in this thread, because it’s the one you didn’t just object to.

No, it’s not, Andrew. We could have had tougher rules in place and they would have broken them too. They are willing to pay heavy fines because it will be worth it in the long run.
It’s a bit like saying that because so many cars are exceeding the 30mph speed limit, we need a 20mph speed limit.

Lots of firms break environmental rules . . because it's cheaper to pay the fines than fix the issue.

What heavy fines are you referring to? They're paying enhanced redundancy to their ex-workforce but I'm not aware of any fines they've incurred.

Re: P&O Ferries make 800 British Workers Redundant
A P&O Ferries ship is being held in Northern Ireland because it is "unfit to sail", nine days after the company sacked 800 workers without notice. The European Causeway had been held in Larne over "failures on crew familiarisation, vessel documentation and crew training", the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said.
