The prosecutor confirms to Helsingborgs Dagblad.
The man, who is in his 40s, is suspected of negligence in maritime traffic. According to the prosecutor, he was on the bridge of the cargo ship when the grounding occurred.
My understanding is that the planning of the route was inadequate, but exactly how or what happened I cannot go into. I also believe that there are other measures he should have taken when the ship ran aground. He should not have done what he did, says prosecutor Adrien Combier-Hogg to HD.
Suspicions of maritime intoxication have been dismissed by the Coast Guard, according to the newspaper. The captain is not detained.
On May 25, another ship ran aground off Klagshamn south of Malmö. In that case, a crew member is detained suspected of gross negligence in maritime traffic.
The salvage of the ship has begun by first unloading the cargo, local media reports. Once the ship has been freed, it will be taken to harbor, inspected, and repaired if necessary.
