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.
A breath test conducted by the authorities revealed that the 63 year old master had been drinking, and authorities suspect that the man may have fallen asleep. A blood sample was also taken.
Alva had a crew of six when the accident occurred.
