Either - some ties back to Russia from past investments

OR

Re-registering all their vessels to outside of the UK due to Brexit or something I reckon

Plenty of British merchant ships are registered overseas now as a matter of course anyway, it's a far cheaper option. That's nothing unusual nowadays at all.

That's what I thought when I read it. Not sure how they can get away with it

usually by changing responsibilities, change the role.

the cost of redundancy and hassle of re-recruitment (even same people), impact to service (untrained replacements) usually steers business away from this. if P&O is going down this route suggests they have serious cost base problems and the alternative is cutting service or admin.
