Farmers who got oil that leaked from the passenger ferry Marco Polo on their pastures will receive economic compensation from the shipping company TT-line's insurance company, reports Sveriges Radio Blekinge.

It's about, for example, cows that couldn't be let out on polluted coastal meadows.

"For our part, it's primarily about compensation for fodder," says farmer Marie Eriksson to the radio.

Around 55 tons of oil leaked into the sea when Marco Polo ran aground off the coast of Blekinge last autumn. About ten farmers will receive compensation, but the amount of money involved is not public.

A 2.5-mile coastal stretch has so far needed to be cleaned up after the oil spill, and the work continues. The Coast Guard has also demanded that the German shipping company pay a water pollution fee of 1.2 million kronor, which the company has appealed.
