The Newhaven-Dieppe passenger ferry service was disrupted after one of the ships suffered technical problems.
The Dieppe was stranded in France this morning but was due to be up and running again later today.
Passengers making the four-hour crossing were transferred to sister ship the Sardinia Vera.
Both ferries are operated by company Transmanche, which offers a year-round service.
