Just on the news; the Port of Calais is closed and there will be no sailings from P. & O. or SeaFrance to Calais.
Dunkirk is the only port open - shame that Boulogne doesn't have any sailings.
The strike is over pay (what else ?)

sea france are running a full service and p & o a limited one, yet it was announced earlier that the strike would last until the evening.
