The crew made a navigation error and sailed the ship toward the much smaller harbor of Torsö instead.<br /><br />The ship ran aground at around 4 a.m.<br /><br />Despite significant damage to its water ballast tank, the double hull provided protection and no fuel leaks have been reported. <br /><br />According to reports, divers inspected the hull and bottom of the ship and are now determining how to approach the salvage of the vessel.<br /><br />After the accident, the captain and the first officer tested positive for alcohol in a breathalyzer test administered by the Swedish Coast Guard. They were then brought ashore and handed over to local police.<br /><br />According to the Maritime Executive, the captain claimed he had only taken a drink after the accident. Further tests in hospital however dismissed his claim. <br />He was arrested on suspicion of being drunk while in charge of the ship.<br /><br />None of the six crewmembers onboard were injured.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
