A Latvian captain has been placed under arrest after his ship ran aground, allegedly while the man was drunk. The cargo vessel ALVA was underway from Sczcecin to Gothenburg with a cargo of sodium silicate when the vessel failed to change course as it passed the Island of Hven, just north of Landskrona, Sweden, and ran aground.
