Providing an update this morning, a spokesperson for Ports of Jersey said: “Both new X-Ray machines were operational all weekend.

“Data generated by the equipment is being analysed to help improve its efficiency.”

“We are deploying extra staff to advise passengers how to prepare for the new process.”
