Tarifa Jet and Caesarea Trader return to service

Thursday, 30 April 2026 at 11:30

Two DFDS ferries that suffered damage are returning to service on the Jersey routes.

The Tarifa Jet fast ferry is making its first crossing since hitting the harbour ramp in St Helier on 29 March.

DFDS cancels Portsmouth sailings after Tarifa Jet incident

The ferry firm was forced to cancel, reroute and revise sailings just ahead of the busy Easter holidays, disrupting thousands of passengers' travel plans.

Tarifa Jet was taken away to be repaired, and the Levante Jet brought out of dry dock early. The Stena Vinga was temporarily rerouted to operate to France and the Cote D'Albatre was drafted in on the Portsmouth route.

Tarifa Jet is due into Jersey at 2.30pm today (30 April) before resuming St Malo duties a short time later.

Meanwhile, the islands' freight ship Caesarea Trader will be bringing supplies again from tomorrow (1 May).

It suffered an engine room fire in February. The MV Arrow has been used as a stand-in.
