Toxic chemicals fall into Baltic
Linda
TOXIC chemicals have reportedly fallen off a Finnish container ship into the Baltic Sea.
Three containers fell off 11,487dwt box carrier Linda on Saturday, with one holding hazardous chemicals, the Helsinki Times reported. The other two boxes contained food and non-hazardous chemicals.
The ship's owners, Oy Langh Ship, told Fairplay today that Linda was sailing from Dansk to Rotterdam when the accident happened. The location of the three containers is not known, said spokeswoman Laura Langh. “Most likely they have sunk.”
Finland’s Containerships were the charterers of the vessel and would be able to confirm what was in the hazardous container, said Langh. However, Containerships was unavailable for comment when phoned by Fairplay today.
The incident follows claims on Friday that Russia dumped nuclear waste into the Baltic in the early 1990s.
