 Ferry operators expected thousands to travel this weekend |
A ferry operator has said cross-Channel sailings have returned to normal after delays during the past week because of problems at Calais. P&O is running all six vessels between Dover and the French port.
Two berths at Calais were closed after a cable snapped, leaving just two available for P&O and SeaFrance to use.
On Saturday, P&O said all berths were open and delays in France were "short". Families returning after half term had been warned of disruption.
P&O was expecting 50,000 passengers, many of them families with children, to try to return to Britain this weekend.
The company has said it is preparing a multi-million pound compensation claim for the "unprecedented" problems.
SeaFrance said over 160 coaches and 1,000 cars would be arriving in Kent.
A week of disruption has led to hold-ups on the M20, with Operation Stack - where lorries travelling to Dover have to park on the coastbound motorway - implemented several times.
