The sum includes, among other things, consulting services for the technology to remotely control underwater vehicles, an activity that requires extra money in addition to the regular budget.
- If you are to carry out any form of diving activity here, it is necessary that you add extra money to be able to finance it, says Deputy Director General of the Swedish Accident Investigation Board Jonas Bäckstrand, to Ekot.
The accident commissions in Estonia, Finland and Sweden began in October last year their preliminary assessment of the new findings made by documentary filmmakers who have appeared at the wreck.
Two new holes were discovered
Among other things, two new holes were discovered in the hull that have previously been unknown.
The findings were then presented in a high-profile Discovery documentary.
At Christmas it was decided that new dives needed to be done and on Friday Ekot reported that the dives can start already this summer, when a changed law on grave peace is expected to be hammered through.
