FERRY workers’ strikes continued to cripple cross-Channel services yesterday with tailbacks reaching the M20 in Kent due to the closure of the port of Calais in France.
British coastguard teams were drafted in to distribute food and water to sweltering lorry drivers on the hottest day of the year.
The chaos on both sides of the English Channel began on Monday when MyFerryLink workers staged a wildcat strike in protest at 600 expected job cuts in Calais.
Services to and from Dover have been affected, while the Channel Tunnel reopened on Tuesday afternoon following a three-hour shutdown.
Dover port officials admitted this morning that they had no idea when the industrial action — the second strike by ferry workers in a week — would end.
