The Western Finnish Coast Guard announced on Twitter that the situation is stable, people are not in danger. Rescue forces prepared the evacuation of MS Amorella, he said.

According to the Viking Line shipping company, the ship with almost 200 passengers and 80 crew on board was heading from Turku, in southern Finland, to the Swedish capital, Stockholm. So far there have been no reports of injuries.

The Finnish and Swedish media report that the ferry ran aground seven years ago. At that time, too, the incident occurred in this area.
