New plan for SeaFrance

摘要

While talks over Brittany Ferries' bid to take a major stake in SeaFrance continue, the troubled Calais-Dover operator is cutting 550 positions at sea and on shore by the end of 2010,100 fewer than in a first survival plan. Said to be losing €100,000 a day, and with losses in the first quarter of 2009 of €14 million, SeaFrance hope to achieve a third of the reduced total of redundancies by natural wastage or early retirement.
