DFDS Plans Return of Jersey–St Malo Sailings After Ferry Damage

Ferry operator DFDS says it expects to resume sailings between Jersey and St Malo on Tuesday after one of its vessels was damaged during a berthing incident.

The Tarifa Jet suffered damage to its stern on Sunday, prompting disruption to services during the busy Easter travel period.

The company said its Levante Jet, which had been undergoing planned work in dry dock in Dunkirk, will now return early to operate the 07:30 BST sailing from St Malo to Jersey, with a return journey scheduled for 09:40.

DFDS has also drafted in another vessel to help meet increased Easter demand, but some timetable changes remain. The company said enquiries had risen as passengers checked whether their travel plans would be affected.

A spokesperson said efforts were being made to reduce disruption, with booking systems updated to reflect the revised schedule.
