Flares are set to be discharged from a ferry as part of a scheduled training exercise within the Channel Islands. The Herm Travel Trident V is slated to release these flares on Wednesday, specifically between 18:00 and 18:30 GMT. A navigation warning will be transmitted on VHF Channel 16 at both the beginning and end of the exercise, which is designated to occur in the area between Herm and Guernsey. The States of Guernsey communicated that further updates would be accessible on social media. They also clarified that the purpose of this exercise is to prepare for actual emergencies that could affect the ferry service.
