Ships need constant care and attention
Now P&O are competing on the open market for agency guys.
The best are all contracted in Oil&Gas, dredging, cable laying, windfarm construction etc - for far more than permanent P&O staff were getting paid.
Plus ferry work is boring, wanna work in Hull or lay a cable between Indonesia and Japan?
In essence, P&O will be fighting for the dregs of the industry and will probably have a major cockup in the next 5 years and blame it on agency workers.

Having a goose with golden eggs route nearly to yourself
And managing to lose money, then blame the sailors, is quite rich.
Sending guards to kick them off, is asking for problems - and ruining your reputation for any worthwhile seaman.
They are off my radar for sure.

The only sailors desperate enough but with valid certs might be Russians.
