The passenger ferry TT-Line Marco Polo, which is flagged in Cyprus, was on its way from Trelleborg to Karlshamn and then continued to Klaipeda in Lithuania.
On Sunday, October 22, the ship ran aground. The alarm came at 6.25am.
In Hanö Bay, the ship had first run aground and started leaking oil.
It then continued for another three nautical miles, which corresponds to five to six kilometers, before it ran onto new ground and got stuck.
Already on the same day, the oil reached land at Hörvik in Sölvesborg municipality. Since then, clean-up work has continued along the coast and at sea.
An investigation has shown that a GPS on board was broken and that the crew relied solely on it in the fog. Two crewmen have been sentenced to 50 daily fines each for negligence in maritime traffic.
