Lifeboats, two French rescue helicopters and a French naval plane were among those involved in the search on Thursday

Co-ordinators said the RNLI and the Channel Islands Air Search plane would be involved.

Local fishermen have also offered to assist in the search.

Freight truck driver Richard Henry was a passenger on the Goodwill and said he felt a bang and the ferry moved.

"I heard five big long blasts on the horn and then literally not a minute later we felt a big thud from the boat collision," he said.

"The captain was on it straight away saying 'This is not a drill, all crew to boats'."
