Ferry Collision in Jersey: What Happened?

0:00On March 30, a D.F.D.S. ferry called the Tarifa jet bumped into a harbor berth while docking in St. Helier, Jersey, on Sunday. The impact damaged the boat's stern, but luckily no passengers or crew got hurt. That led to the cancellation of the evening trip to St. Mallow in France, leaving folks who planned to sail that night scrambling for options. The Tarifa jet normally runs routes between Jersey, Guernsey and St. Mallow, carrying up to 769 passengers and 100. 45 vehicles at speeds up to 42 knots. Ports of Jersey and D.F.D.S. teams are now digging into what happened, inspecting both the ferry and the dock setup with more checks planned soon. Word is, they'll sort this quick to get the fast catamaran back on track, serving those channel island's runs without missing a beat.
