Continuing industrial action by French fishermen has led to a second day of cancellations for Speedferries' cross-Channel ferry services between Dover and Boulogne.

Sailings were halted yesterday when the fishermen used their boats to blockade the Port of Boulogne, and their action is continuing today.

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