Dumfries and Galloway Council set to throw P&O off Cairnryan green freeport bid
31.03.2022 - 10:29 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Under-fire ferry operator P&O could today be thrown off a high-powered team working up plans to make Cairnryan a green freeport.
The sanction – drafted by council leader Elaine Murray and depute Rob Davidson – would see the company stripped of its role in the bid.
Councillors will consider the proposal at today’s session of the full council in Dumfries.
The radical move comes after the ferry firm’s parent company, Dubai-based DP World, sacked 800 British seafarers from its vessels with zero notice and replaced them with cheap foreign agency labour.
The action provoked widespread condemnation and DP World has refused to change tack.
The councillors’ motion states the company has “no place” in the freeport bid, which is founded on fair work practices, and “resolves to exclude” P&O and its parent company from the process.
Speaking ahead of today’s meeting, council leader Elaine Murray told the News: “The actions of P&O are disgraceful and intolerable.
“We certainly will be moving a motion to chuck them off the green freeport bid.
“At the moment they are part of the agreement and the team working on the green freeport.
“If the council agrees, they will be ejected from the green freeport bid.
“There is no place for P&O and its parent company DP World in the working group in my view.
“However, that will be a decision for full council. I’m not anticipating that there will be any objection.”
P&O sailed into a storm of protest when it made its entire British seafaring staff redundant.
Questions over the legality of the action persist and P&O’s Cairnryan to Larne service remains suspended.
The company stated on Twitter: “It is no longer possible for us to arrange travel via an alternative operator on this route.
“For essential travel customers

Why Graham Norton and Stanley Tucci love a scarf like Clive Myrie's
BBC’s foreign correspondent and Mastermind presenter has a fondness for accessorising his outfits with fetching chiffon scarves, even combining one with a T-shirt when he appeared on The One Show earlier this year. He also wore one on the red carpet at the National Television Awards last September when he sported a grey and black polka dot scarf with a traditional tuxedo. His fashion-forward style, which has been described as ‘London media attire’, certainly seems to chime with film and television celebrities – and not just when it’s chilly outside.
