The British RMT union has criticised the boss of Stena Line for making comments calling British workers “fat” and “tattooed”.

The director of Stena Line’s North Sea route, which runs between Harwich and the Hook of Holland, was quoted as saying UK workers were “quite fat and covered in tattoos”.

Pim de Lange said he was quoted out of context and has apologised.

But Steve Todd, head of maritime at the RMT, has called for a fuller apology.
