A passenger ferry journeying from Spain to Plymouth has been forced to reroute following an incident of suspected “food poisoning” onboard. The Brittany Ferries vessel, Pont Aven, was met with a swift emergency response as dozens of ambulances and emergency vehicles rushed to the port of Brest in France, where the ferry had to make an unexpected stop.

Reports indicate that the emergency response was triggered after a nurse on board the ship reported that 34 crew members had been “showing symptoms suggesting food poisoning since last night.” As a result, the vessel, which had departed Santander at 5pm UK time on Monday, August 7, was diverted to Brest as a precautionary measure to address the health concerns.
