LILLE, France (Reuters) - A P&O ferry with more than 200 passengers on board has run aground in stormy weather in Calais harbour in northern France, but there are no injuries, the Pas-de-Calais prefecture said on Sunday.

The "Pride of Kent" of P&O Ferries tried to leave the Calais harbour bound for Dover, Britain around midday, but ran aground in the harbour, probably on a sand bank, the prefecture said.
