Dover Ferries seen helping out the coastguard in a search and rescue operation as seen from the Cliffs at Dover. The Cote D'Opale and Delft Seaways were over 2 hours delayed in their schedules due to them taking part. Cote D’Opale couldn’t be seen throughout most of this as she was round the corner opposite Walmer whilst Delft Seaways remained in view as she was just to the south east of the Cliffs. Cote des Dunes ended up arriving into Dover before Cote D'Opale did and by the looks of it Cote D'Opale's traffic was loaded onto the Cote des Dunes for the sailing down to Calais despite Cote D'Opale overtaking her on her way back to France. In terms of the search and rescue operation I wasn't able to find out the result of it.
