At the Port of Dover a second P&O ferry has passed its safety inspection, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has said.
The Pride of Kent can now join the Spirit of Britain, which the MCA cleared to sail on 23 April, after it was detained for two weeks.
Safety fears were raised after P&O replaced nearly 800 seafarers with cheaper agency staff in March.
P&O tweeted on Monday evening that it would be running a one ship schedule until 12 May.
A spokesperson for the MCA said: "The Pride of Kent has been released from detention and can commence operations when P&O Ferries are ready."
They added no further inspections of P&O ferries are planned at the moment, but will be carried out at the request of the company.
