Ports of Jersey have confirmed that this morning's incident should not affect half-term travel.
"Ports of Jersey called the fire service as a precaution when the automatic fire alarm sounded. A minor equipment issue was identified, but there was no fire or heat. Both ferry ramps are working and have already been used this morning. There were no delays to the Condor Voyager," a spokesperson said.
