P&O is suing the UK government after the Department for Transport (DfT ) awarded £33m ( more than £100m ) to its competitor, UK , in settlement for not having considered the company for no-deal Brexit scenario shipping contracts. It is explicitly designed to be invested in the tunnel's infrastructure and if left unchallenged would put our services at a competitive disadvantage. P&O says this was illegal and puts them at a competitive disadvantage, as the money is to be invested in improving Eurotunnel ’s facilities in the Eurotunnel . The DfT awarded $42.6m of contracts to Brittany Ferries , DFDS and Seaborne Freight for extra capacity across Folkestone in a no-deal Brexit scenario.
