Sunken Swedish Cargo Ship Leaking Oil
A Swedish cargo ship which sank in a storm off the east coast of Oland Island on Wednesday is leaking oil, according to the Swedish Coast Guard. The extent of the spill is not clear at this moment because of bad weather at the site of the accident, but the Swedish Coast Guard officials describe it as a reasonable quantity of oil coming up from the freighter.
There were 250 metric tonnes of heavy oil and 10 tonnes of machine oil onboard the vessel when it went down. The amount of the oil released into the sea will depend on the extent of the damage to the sunken vessel. This information is also unknown. Currently, two Swedish Coast Guard ships are at the site, monitoring the situation.
