The tanker did not have a load on. There are 24 people on board the tanker. Estonian Police and Border Guard Board marine guard bureau specialist Ivar Treffner said that the situation is stable and the crew will remain on board at the moment.

A Swedish guard plane is scheduled to fly over the site and three Finnish pollution fight ships are ready to depart any minute.
