The ferry operator's Dubai-based parent company was reported to have been planning to announce a £1 billion investment in the UK at the Government's International Investment Summit, which is thought to be key to government plans to attract investment to the country.
The operator faced scrutiny by politicians from both main parties in March 2022 when it suddenly sacked 800 British seafarers and replaced them with cheaper, mainly overseas, staff, saying it was necessary to stave off bankruptcy.
After efforts by Downing Street to smooth relations, it is understood that DP World will now attend Monday's gathering, despite the row over Louise Haigh's comments about the firm.
Following the controversy surrounding P&O Ferries' actions, Ms Rayner and Ms Haigh introduced legislation to prevent similar actions, with Haigh describing P&O Ferries as cowboy operators.
