Entry to UK by Ferry+Covid
Discussion
i had booked a ferry to UK, arriving from EU. Arrival would have been this morning 8:00 am, departure this evening 20:00
aim: collecting a car
now UK government decided that all travelers arriving to UK from france or NL should self-isolate.
the ferry-company immediatley offered a cancellation option with a refund.
as all ferries to UK have their starting point in france or NL (belgium ferries are actually out of service), this would mean that everybody is forced to self-isolate, even he would arrive from germany, switzerland, poland etc.?
the traveller has crossed F/NL and latest on the ferry port or during embarking he would have mixed with people.

section "transit stops" is not 100% clear for me. i mean who could guarantee that when i would have entered UK this morning, i definately could leave it this evening?

You don’t need to self-isolate if you travel through a non-exempt country and you don’t stop in the country.
If you do make a stop, you don’t need to self-isolate if:
no new people get into the vehicle
no-one in the vehicle gets out, mixes with other people, and gets in again *
You do need to self-isolate if you make a stop and:
new people get into the vehicle, or
someone gets out of the vehicle, mixes with other people and gets in again
