Workers to run SeaFrance ferries under Eurotunnel deal
SeaFrance ferry SeaFrance went into liquidation this year with the loss of 880 jobs in France and about 130 in Dover.
The assets of liquidated ferry operator SeaFrance have been awarded to Eurotunnel in a deal that will bring three ships back into operation.
Under the deal, the Channel Tunnel operator will buy three SeaFrance ferries and lease them to a workers' co-operative, restoring 560 jobs.
