Islanders warned of major incident exercise

No shipping movements are scheduled during the training exercise, officials said

The government of Jersey has warned islanders of blue-light activity and "actors in distress" as part of a live major incident exercise.

Officials said emergency planning would hold the event at Elizabeth Terminal on Tuesday between 09:00 and 14:00 BST.

It said members of the Jersey Resilience Forum, including Ports of Jersey, Jersey Customs, Immigration Service and emergency services would be involved.

The aim of the exercise was to test the emergency response in establishing a "survivor reception centre", officials said.

"Members of the public should be reassured that the blue-light activity in the area will be due to this training exercise and not an incident," they added.

"There will also be volunteer actors serving in various roles who may appear to be in distress or in need of medical attention."

Officials said the terminal would close to the public at 08:30 BST, adding that passenger travel would not be disrupted.
