The Russian captain of the "Fortuna" has received a fine of 10000 Danish Crowns for not having timely reported the grounding of his ship off Bandholm on Feb 12, to the Admiral Danish Fleet.
The police interrogated the captain on Feb 14. It was estimated that 1,5 hours passed before he made contact with SOK which was too long. The fine was paid immediately, and on Feb 15 the ship could resume its voyage.
The unloaded vessel had been examined by divers who found that there was no damage to the hull. On departure from Bandholm the ship had taken a pilot on board. It reached the port of Malmoe on Feb 16.
