CALAIS, France (Reuters) - Striking ferry workers blocking access to Calais port in northern France agreed on Wednesday to let some boats through, partly lifting a blockade in its third day.

Workers at ferry service MyFerryLink are trying to prevent job cuts after their company was sold to a Danish company earlier this month.
