Casualties

| 06 Mar 2026 | Detained/Arrested | Swedish authorities have seized the 96m cargo ship Caffa and detained one crewmember after a boarding off Trelleborg on Friday amid suspicions the vessel was stateless and carrying stolen Ukrainian grain. The coast guard said armed police boarded from a helicopter and a high‑speed boat (see video below) after tracking the ship for some time under the suspicion it was sailing under a false Guinean flag. Officials say the 1997‑built vessel – which the coast guard and prosecutors assert is on Ukraine’s sanctions list – last sailed from Casablanca toward St Petersburg and reportedly changed its flag from Russian to Guinean in 2025. Equasis lists the registry as false. The Russian embassy in Stockholm said 10 of the 11 crew are Russian nationals. Source: Splash24/7 |
