The Government is aware of reports that some seafarers formerly employed by P&O Ferries have not had their personal belongings returned. I am contacting the company to investigate. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) are willing to investigate any cases, and affected seafarers are encouraged to email the MCA at exams@mcga.gov.uk.
