US EditionSecond Bulker Grounds in Øresund Off Sweden in a Week
- The Panamanian-flagged bulker Meshka grounded near Landhrona, Sweden, on May 31, 2025, while traveling southbound in Øresund's shipping channel.
- This incident follows a similar grounding of another bulker near Malmö on May 25, prompting Swedish authorities to investigate causes and possible links.
- The Meshka, carrying fuel and ballast with a seven-meter draft, ran aground in shallow water of three meters despite traffic warnings, and no injuries or leaks were reported.
- Officials found the Meshka had 23 deficiencies from a September 2024 UK inspection and began interviews and sobriety checks, with a preliminary investigation into seamanship underway.
- Authorities remain on site while a salvage plan must be approved, and the event highlights ongoing safety concerns for bulkers navigating Øresund waters.
