Finnish container carrier MS Linda lost three containers into the Baltic Sea off Gotland in Swedish waters on Saturday.

Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå (TT), a Swedish news agency, reported that one of the containers contained several tonnes of toxic chemicals.

TT quoted the Swedish Coast Guard as saying that the bottom container in a stack of four had collapsed, tipping the other three into the sea.

According to Finnish shipping company Langh two of the containers lost overboard contained food and non-hazardous chemicals.

The Swedish authorities assumed that the containers had sunk.
