The firm hopes to get its Pride of Kent and Spirit of Britain ships back in action, subject to inspection.
P&O Ferries hopes to get two ships back in action, subject to inspection by the coastguard.
There has not yet been any confirmation that the inspections, which can take days, have been booked in.Bad weather and the disruption to P&O services had caused long queues of traffic as the Easter holidays started for some. "P&O has been working closely with regulators to ensure our ships are safe to sail. P&O is looking forward to welcoming back vital services and we expect to have two of our vessels ready to sail on the Dover-Calais route by next week, subject to regulatory signoff," they added.Following the no-notice sacking of 786 seafarers by P&O Ferries, passengers hoping to cross the channel have been left with fewer travel options.
Safety concerns have been raised over the replacement of employees with less experienced agency workers paid less than the UK minimum wage. In total, eight P&O Ferries need to be inspected so that the MCA is satisfied they are safe to carry passengers and freight.
