Swedish Navy Boards Troubled Cargo Ship Off Coast
A Panamanian-flagged cargo ship, the 'Mikhail Dudin', encountered engine trouble off the coast of Sweden, sparking a response from Swedish authorities. The vessel, en route from St. Petersburg to Dunkirk, was boarded by the Swedish Navy following a conversation with the crew.
The 'Mikhail Dudin' set sail from St. Petersburg on September 23, bound for Dunkirk, France. However, the ship experienced engine malfunctions and was forced to stop near Karlskrona on Saturday night. Swedish maritime authorities and the Swedish Armed Forces promptly contacted the crew to verify their intentions and ensure maritime security in Swedish waters.
Citing the current international situation, the Swedish Navy visited the ship and engaged in a conversation with the crew. Despite initial concerns, it was confirmed that the 'Mikhail Dudin' is a civilian trading vessel and not involved in any illegal activities. Following this conversation, the Swedish Navy boarded the ship to further assess the situation.
The 'Mikhail Dudin' remains off the coast of Blekinge, with its crew cooperating fully with Swedish authorities. The vessel's engine issues are being addressed, and no further incidents have been reported. The Swedish Navy's actions were a precautionary measure, given the current international climate.
