Captain of detained ship released from custody
The Chinese captain of the 'Jin Hui', who was detained after the boarding of the shipin early May has now been released.

He was detained on suspicion of aggravated use of a false document. The ship is Syrian-flagged, which according to prosecutor Adrian Combier-Hogg, who was leading the preliminary investigation, was false. The 'Sea Owl 1' also remained anchored off the coast of Skåne. A new captain took over the ship after the previous one was detained, but the new captain was also suspected of having provided false documents. The captain of the third detained ship, the 'Caffa', which was seized and docked in the port of Trelleborg, has been released from custody. The entire crew was allowed to leave Sweden in May. A total of 50 crew members were now left on two of the ships off the southern coast of Skåne.
Suspected Russian shadow tanker seized off Trelleborg
On May 3, 2026, at 2 p.m. the Swedish Coast Guard seized the 'Jin Hui' in the Baltic Sea. The tanker was believed to be part of Russia’s shadow fleet, the latest in a string of similar actions carried out in recent months by the country’s authorities. The Coast Guard along with the police boarded the Syrian-flagged vessel in Swedish territorial waters south of Trelleborg and started a preliminary investigation into a lack of seaworthiness. The Coast Guard suspected that the ship was sailing under a false flag, given there were a number of irregularities concerning its flag status, and therefore did not meet demands for seaworthiness as set out in international regulations and agreements. The ship, the destination of which was unclear, and which was thought to be carrying no cargo, figured on several sanctions lists, including those of the European Union and Britain. The boarding proceeded calmly and according to plan. The ship anchored in pos. 55° 20' N 013° 03' E. On board the tanker were now personnel from the Coast Guard who started to investigate a suspected crime. The preliminary investigation, which was initiated by the Coast Guard earlier in the day, was now led by prosecutors. The Swedish authorities arrested the captain, a Chinese national, on suspicion of using a false document, a felony. He was also suspected of violating the Maritime Act regarding lack of seaworthiness. The iInterrogations with the arrested person were to be held during the day and contacts with other authorities and countries have been initiated, Reports with photos: https://www.kustbevakningen.se/nyheter/fartyg-bordat-soder-om-trelleborg--misstankt-brott-mot-sjolagen/ https://www.msn.com/sv-se/nyheter/inrikes/kustbevakningen-har-bordat-fartyg-utanf%C3%B6r-trelleborg/ar-AA22hJD5
