Ferry company apologises after children left ‘screaming’ by pornographic film

DFDS, a ferry company, has issued an apology after a pornographic film was mistakenly played on a ferry traveling from Dieppe, France, to Newhaven, Sussex. The incident occurred on November 12, 2025, and reportedly left children on board 'screaming' in shock. The company expressed that it was 'very sorry' for the distress caused to passengers, particularly the young ones who were exposed to inappropriate content during what was intended to be a family-friendly journey. This incident raises concerns about the oversight and content management on public transport services, highlighting the need for stricter controls to prevent such occurrences in the future.
