The captain of a Lithuanian-owned general cargo vessel has been fined in Denmark over a double grounding.
The Folketidende newspaper reported that the 2,700-dwt Latvia-flag Troubadour (built 2011) got stuck twice on Wednesday morning near the Ramso lighthouse en route to Nakskov.
A duty officer at the Defence Operations Centre told the daily that an environmental response ship was heading to the scene from Korsor on Wednesday afternoon to check on any pollution.
But the centre downplayed prospects of any serious leaks, as the vessel is carrying a cargo of cigarettes and vodka.
The ship is reported to have initially gone aground to the south of the lighthouse, which is to the east of Lango.
A fisherman who saw the incident reported that it was high tide at the time, so the vessel was able to pull free.
But the Troubadour then grounded again.
Maritime Direct said the cargo vessel hit two buoys during the incidents, and the master then reported the events to the authorities.
He was reported to have received a fine of DKK 10,000 ($1,300) because of this delay.
AIS data showed the ship at anchor in Nakskov on Thursday.
No interruptions to shipping
The ship did not block other traffic.
Manager Baltnautic Shipping of Lithuania has been contacted for comment.
The Troubadour had left Swinoujscie in Poland on 15 October.
The vessel has no port state control detentions over the last 10 years.
The last deficiencies were found in 2019 in the UK.
Five faults were found with alarms, fire doors, the fire control plan, fire protection systems, and gauges and thermometers in propulsion and auxiliary machinery.
