Technical error in Svea's propulsion system
Published: 05 July 2019
R/V Svea left the harbour in Vigo at nine p.m. on Thursday. A couple of hours after the departure, the vessel encountered a technical error on the propulsion system. It is presently not clear where the error lies but as a safety measure the Swedish Maritime Administration and SLU has decided that the vessel will return to Vigo so the shipyard and it's supplier will be able to detect the error and correct it. A tugboat is on it's way to assist. Svea will arrive to Vigo during the afternoon.
