Search suspended overnight

Jersey Coastguard is suspending overnight the search and rescue operation on the west coast of Jersey.

Search and rescue services will regroup before first light tomorrow to consider the findings of the search by the remote operation vehicle (the uncrewed underwater craft) before deciding how to proceed.

Commercial shipping has been rerouted eastbound around the island to avoid the search area.

Anyone who finds debris on beaches, please note where you found it and call the Coastguard on 01534 447705.
