The alarm about the accident on a British ship came in just before 9 on Tuesday. It was reported to be zero degrees outside and cold in the water and a large rescue effort was initiated to find the person. The search was ended at 11 o'clock after the assessment that the person cannot be found alive, reports P4 Västerbotten.
One has searched the area on the surface properly and we have not found any person, so now this becomes a police matter, says Fredrik Strömbäck, press communicator at the Swedish Maritime Administration, to the radio.
It's really tough.
