A UK-flag multipurpose ship left the scene of a fatal collision in Swedish waters in the early hours of Monday, shipowner Scotline has acknowledged.

One person remains missing after the collision of Scotline's 4,800-dwt Scot Carrier (built 2018) and the 492-dwt Danish cargo ship Karin Hoj (built 1997). One body, still unidentified, was found in the capsized Karin Hoj, which has been towed to Ystad harbour.
