MARITIME TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ARE HOLDING DISCUSSIONS AFTER MAJOR DISRUPTION TO CROSS-CHANNEL FERRIES YESTERDAY. PORT officials who yesterday staged a strike that severely disrupted
cross-Channel ferries are holding talks today. In the meantime union leaders have called off action which saw services between Boulogne, Calais and Dover reduced to less than 50%. Maritime
traffic controllers from the two French ports are meeting with the Sustainable Development Ministry today to discuss their demands - which revolve around changes to their bonus system. A
port spokeswoman said the officials would decide whether to continue with strikes following the discussions.
