CalMac's Managing Director Robbie Drummond has issued a statement regarding P&O Ferries:

"We at CalMac were shocked and saddened to hear about the redundancies at P&O Ferries. This is an awful situation for our many ferry industry colleagues.

"We have vacancies currently available, including a number of Deck Ratings and Seaman Pursers required to start in April, and would encourage anyone affected to apply as soon as possible."

More details of these vacancies, and how to apply, can be found at:

As a ferry firm, they're not perfect by any means, but Scotland's geography and weather pose particular difficulties. A hop across the Channel would be a doddle in comparison!
