>> 1 A company that would have gone bust survives
>>

I worked, in a banking aspect, on the failure of one of the few UK recycled paper plants.

It was an amazing place, visiting reminded me of the interior scenes from The Forbidden Planet, but costs were an issue and there was over-capacity in the market, especially in light of reducing newspaper circulation.

The owners even sold the place with a multimillion pound dowry and an American company purchased it for £1. Shut it down and sold the land for a lot of money for re-development.

Basically, the situation appears to be the same re the Channel Ferries, there is over-capacity and the only way for all to survive is for one or more operators to close, sadly.

I don't know if this is a short term over-capacity and P&O are waiting for trade to pick up, whatever, they have gone about this in totally the wrong way.
