Speedferries' cross-Channel ferry services between Dover and Boulogne are at a standstill today because of industrial action by French fishermen.

The French are using their boats to block the entrance to the Port of Boulogne, leading to all SpeedFerries sailings being cancelled for the time being.

Passengers are being advised to check with the company on 0870 220 0570 for further information, and details of possible alternative arrangements.
