Last news: The Swedish Coastguard have now found the vessel Langeland on a depth of about 50 to 60 mtrs. No survivors are fund, but they will continue the search. The crew is 2 ukraines and 4 russian sailors.
The cause of this tragic accident is still not found, but they reckon the vessel who was on it's way to Moss in Norway got a listing.
Best regards

Last update: Langeland located by Swedish Coastgaurd at a depth of 110-120mtr. The vessel was found by use of a ROV. The crew is still now found, by is thought to have been trapped inside the vessel.

(Last days update was proven to be wrong!!)
