Now the work of getting the ship loose can begin. It will probably not happen today. It usually takes a few days, says the Coast Guard's press spokesperson Mattias Lindholm.
The plan is, according to Lindholm, to transfer the ship's cargo to another ship.
It's about getting the ship loose with as small a risk as possible for the crew, the ship, and the marine environment. We will be on site continuously if something happens.
On May 25, the nearly hundred-meter-long bulk carrier ran aground in Klagshamn south of Malmö. The foreign-flagged ship was on its way from Gdansk in Poland to Setúbal in Portugal, loaded with scrap.
On board, there are also 69,000 liters of diesel oil. There are currently no signs that the ship has leaked oil. The Coast Guard has previously stated that they have prepared an environmental rescue operation to be on the safe side, in case oil starts leaking during the salvage work.
A man from the crew has been arrested, suspected of gross negligence in maritime traffic in connection with the grounding. The man denies the crime.
