Unlike last week’s industrial action, which saw Eurostar and Eurotunnel also forced to cancel services, only ferry crossings are currently affected. Eurotunnel services were also disrupted on Tuesday morning, with delays of about an hour from the UK, although there was no repeat of the chaos caused by last week’s industrial action, during which Eurostar and Eurotunnel were forced to cancel services.

In an update in the early hours of Tuesday morning, ferry operator P&O said none of its vessels would be sailing in or out of Calais and advised passengers to rebook for another date. A police spokesman said: “This allows backed-up freight traffic to park on the coastbound carriageway of the M20. It is important to note that as a result of a build-up of heavy freight traffic on the M20, A20 and roads in and around Dover, junction 13 of the M20 is also currently closed in the direction of the Port of Dover. All non-freight traffic will need to follow diversions or seek alternative routes.”
