EFFORTS ARE UNDER way to re-route two P&O ferries stranded at Dublin Port amid an ongoing stand-off between the company and the Port of Liverpool.
The impasse arose on Thursday when Peel Ports, the owner of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, prevented a Dublin-bound P&O ferry leaving the Port of Liverpool over a £600,000 payment.
On the other side of the Irish Sea, two freight ferries – one owned by P&O and the other chartered by the company – were unable to set sail for Liverpool because of the row.
The P&O-owned vessel in Dublin – the Norbank – was fully loaded and ready to depart when the incident unfolded in Liverpool.
It is understood negotiations took place between P&O and Dublin Port authorities through Friday over the issue.

Now that they have an alternate port it doesn't appear that it's necessary to resolve the issue in a hurry.
