Read Authentic Ratings for the Yxlan

An investigation has been initiated following a notable maritime incident on May 6, 2016, involving the ferry 'Yxlan' and the Swedish patrol vessel 'Carlskrona - P 04', which has a gross tonnage of 3,150 tons. The collision occurred off Stumholmen at approximately 11 a.m. while the ferry was en route to Aspö, carrying multiple passengers. Despite the impact from the 'Carlskrona', which struck the ferry, 'Yxlan' proceeded to its destination and continued its operations seamlessly by picking up additional passengers. On returning to Trossö around noon, two passengers who sustained minor injuries were attended to by an ambulance crew. The landing ramp of the ferry suffered some damage, but fortunately, no significant harm was inflicted, allowing the vessel to resume service by 4 p.m. after necessary repairs. The 'Carlskrona' sustained some damage to its stern but remained seaworthy and continued its patrol duties following the incident. Authorities promptly boarded both vessels to conduct a thorough examination, which included breathalyzer tests for the crews and interviews regarding the accident. As a precautionary measure, the captain and crew of the ferry 'Aspö 1' were temporarily sidelined pending the outcome of the investigation.
