Due to a technical problem of a ramp in Newhaven the cross-channel traffic with Dieppe was interrupted on July 8, 2018. The 'Seven Sisters' which had left the port of Dieppe about two hours before the damage with 400 passengers on board, and which was halfway between the French and English coasts asked for the opportunity to dock in Dover. Unfortunately the only berth was unavailable. DFDS Seaways France then decided to turn back and brought all its passengers to Dieppe at 10.30 p.m. Solutions were quickly proposed to passengers to reach the ports of Calais or Dunkirk, where DFDS also provides connections with England. Passengers with cars were invited to reach these ports on their own, pedestrian passengers were transported by bus. Since no ferry was able to make the crossing between Dieppe and Newhaven, all traffic has been diverted to Calais and Dunkirk.
