Since last Saturday, the cargo on the ship Almirante Storni has been burning, a fire that quickly proved very difficult to extinguish.

For several days, ships from a number of authorities and other actors have participated, and on Wednesday evening two Norwegian ships joined, which they now hope will be able to provide relief to the Coast Guard's firefighters.

These Norwegian vessels have very good water capacity, so we will see if an increased water capacity gives success over time, says Erik Österlund, commander at the Coast Guard's command center, to TT.

Hard wind

Strong winds - periodically upwards of 17 meters per second, which gives high tide at high tide - not only complicate the firefighting work, it also wears hard on the staff.

In addition, the ships are iced by water, cold and wind.

Erik Österlund states that the Norwegian vessels will facilitate the service and crew changes on the Coast Guard's two large vessels Poseidon and Triton.

But essentially, they will complement our units, he says.

Risk of spread

On Wednesday, an alarming report came about worrying heat dissipation in the cargo.

According to the Coast Guard, this could indicate that the fire could move and spread.

The Swedish Transport Agency has previously said that it does not want a burning and smoking ship to be towed into port.

The idea has been to tow Almirante Storni to Skandiahamnen in Gothenburg when the fire is extinguished, or almost extinguished.

But the Coast Guard now believes that Almirante Storni must go to the quay as soon as possible, or at least to some place inland with shelter and less sea.

During Wednesday, intensive talks took place between the various parties: the shipping company, the Swedish Transport Agency, the Coast Guard and the port about relocation.

But so far no decision has been made.
