After the 'Makassar Highway' has been moored in Oskarshamn, the responsibility has been transferred to the civil protection because the ship is in municipal responsibility now. The Coastguard was still responsible for the oil in the water. The way to Oskarshamn was monitored from the air. Thin oil lanes with some lump formation have been sifted and the vessels were investigating whether the oil was controllable.Anti pollution work continued in the Tjust archipelago. Seagoing oil defenders have been used in recent days to absorb oil collected in coves and between islands. On land, recovery work was carried out by the rescue service in Västervik with the help of the civil protection and volunteers. At the Coast Guard's base station in Flatvarp, a clean-up camp has been established to clean personnel and equipment that came into contact with the oil. There was a very good collaboration between the authorities and organizations to save the archipelago from the oil. Preliminary investigations of environmental crime have been initiated. The Coast Guard has had an ongoing investigation to impose a water pollution fine on the shipping company. In view of the amount of oil leaked, the Coast Guard has also submitted a notification of environmental breach under the Environmental Code or a violation of Act (1980: 424) on ship-source pollution measures. A preliminary investigation has been initiated at the Public Prosecutor's Office REMA. Swedish report with photo: https://www.kustbevakning...
