A Swedish self-discharging bulker has sunk after grounding in Sweden.

Local media said the 1,350-dwt Sterno (built 1970) took on water after being breached in the incident on Friday in the Gota River north of the locks in Lilla Edet.

It was carrying grain to Gothenburg at the time.

No injuries were reported to the seven crew.

Pictures show the vessel partially submerged with a heavy list to port.
