    One less ferry company to worry about

    LONDON (Reuters) - British ferry and shipping freight operator P&O will shift the registration of its UK vessels to Cyprus ahead of Britain’s departure from the European Union, in part to keep its tax arrangements in the bloc, the company said on Tuesday.

    Still, I'm sure we'll all muddle through and make a success of it. Except for those guys, they're muddling through by moving tax base to the EU.

      Quite right. Anyway Chris Grayling's fantasy ferry company will be ready to help out whenever they are needed (as long as no one expects them to have a ferry).

            The spokesman said Cyprus was among the world’s leading flag registries, “resulting in fewer inspections and delays”.
            Nuff said.

            “The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”

              Is that a reference to that key British politician and not one of the rich elite who chose to get a friend to hire a private jet to fly him to Strasbourg rather than using commercial airlines/trains?
