Authority demands millions for oil cleanup after Marco Polo's grounding

- It is approximately 15.6 million that we have not received back from them, says administrator Johan Olsson to P4.

At least 60,000 liters of heavy oil spilled into the sea and covered the beaches after the passenger ship Marco Polo ran aground off the coast of Blekinge in October 2023.

In total, the authority has demanded 67.4 million from the shipping company's insurance company Gard. At the same time, the statute of limitations for the debt is about to expire.
