It was on Tuesday evening just after 8 pm that one of the defense boats of type battle boat 90 drove up on a smaller island in Gothenburg’s northern archipelago. On board were four people, all young men.
Not far from the accident site is the island of Rörö where the Sea Rescue Society lies with some of its boats. Just minutes after they received the alarm, they were in place at the accident.
It looked pretty dramatic?
– Yes, it has been high speed and high energy involved, says Jonas Carlsson.
The training temporarily paused
The accident occurred during an education in the particular performance of combat boat 90. From the Amphibian Regiment, it is said that the education is temporarily paused but that it will soon be up and running again.
– The entire combat boat training is adapted to be able to perform our combat boats in fairly tough conditions, says Johanna Frejme Head of Communications at Älvsborg’s amphibious regiment.
