Default Brexit firm with no ships has ferries contract cancelled

Ramsgate old port

[Seaborne Freight's contract worth £13.8m
had attracted widespread criticism
after it emerged the firm owned no vessels
suitable for carrying goods or vehicles.
The Department for Transport (DfT)
said it had decided to terminate
the Seaborne's contract after
Irish company Arklow Shipping,
which had provided backing to the deal,
stepped away.]


It was a big contract
The Conservatives say they other firms lined up.

Not every shipping company owns its own ships. Ships get chartered. Although I have to say, if Failing Grayling is involved, it's bound to go tits up.

Agreed, the man's a liability. Useless.
