During the return trip of the "Stena Spirit" from Gdynia to Karlskrona on Apr 8, 2017, Poland surprised many passengers on the ferry with a military exercise. Three military vessels approached the ferry at full speed, soldiers boarded with weapons drawn and searched the ferry and then left again. People panicked after the events in Stockholm thinking the ship had been hijacked. According to Stena Line, information should have gone out of the speaker system on what to expect, but in fact nobody knew anything about an exercise. A process has been started to find out what might have gone wrong. The situation worsened during the morning hours because of an unexpected technical problem a while after the exercise as the ferry experienced a blackout which cause a short stop. After half an hour, the vessel was operational again.
