Report reveals crew workload issues contributed to near-miss between two ferries near Stockholm

During the voyage, problems were encountered with alarms from the starboard main engine and it was discovered that these could not be reset. Therefore, the crew decided to go directly towards Strömkajen, where technical staff would be on site to address the problem.

While en route to Strömkajen, Eskil's master, who was at the helm, and the deckhand tried to silence the alarm, which rang loudly at regular intervals. In addition, work was done to try to restart the main engine, while maintaining a telephone conversation with technical support personnel.

As a result, the ferry began to inadvertently drift to port.
