P&O North Sea ferry unable to dock in Hull due to gales

"More than 300 passengers spent the day stranded on a ferry off the East Yorkshire coast.
The Rotterdam to Hull ferry, The Pride of Hull, was due to berth at 08:00 GMT but was unable to dock after fears that high winds could damage the ship as it entered port.
The ferry's operator P&O said no tugs were available and the vessel had to go back out to sea"
