Technical issues being addressed in Portland
As of Appril 2, the ferry company DFDS continued to address the technical issues arising from the assessment on the 'Tarifa Jet' in Portland. The ferry company was finalising preparations for the vessel to enter service, which was now scheduled for next week. All affected passengers were being informed of changes and were to be automatically moved to new departures with details of the schedules. If passengers are unable to travel due to the updated schedule, they will be able to move their bookings to alternative departures free of charge or can receive a full refund if they do not wish to proceed with their travel arrangements. For the planned Jersey-Portsmouth departures, DFDS has made arrangements to use a replacement vessel and have advised that there will be no changes to the existing schedule.
Sailings cancelled due to technical issues
DFDS’ first sailings of the 'Tarifa Jet' between Jersey and France, which were due to take place on March 28, 2025,, have been cancelled due to technical issues. The new fast ferry has been undergoing a refit in the UK. It was estimated that around 1,000 passengers have been impacted. The passengers have been contacted by DFDS with a revised schedule running over the weekend. The ferry 'Stena Vinga' will operate the St Malo route on March 29 and March 30, while the 'Tarifa Jet' remains in refit in Portland. The change to schedules also meant that the 'Stena Vinga' arrived in Jersey later than previously expected on March 28 with an ETA as of 6 p.m.
Ferry rescued migrants
The crew of the "Tarifa Jet", while crossing between Tarifa and Tangier,rescued seven migrants of sub-Saharan origin, in the Estrecho Strait while trying to reach the Spanish coast aboard an inflatable boat in the morning of Oct 8, 2013. The Rescue Coordination Centre in Tarifa was alerted at 9 a.m. and immediately, triggered a search in which the "Salvamar Alkaid" and the Helimer 211 helicopter participated, but before reaching the scene the ferry crew spotted and rescued the migrants.
