K Lines’ 17,700-gt car carrier Makassar Highway (built 2001) ran aground in an archipelago north of the Swedish town of Vastervik on Monday morning.
The Swedish Coastguard confirmed that the ship’s chief officer has been arrested under suspicion of being intoxicated.
The shipowner says the vessel was heading into port at Sodertalije from Cuxhaven in Germany when the incident occurred.
