Repair faster than expected
The technical fault on the 'Roope' has been repaired, and the vessel returned to service on July 5. The vessel was now continuing its environmental work as usual. Scrap collection in the Turku archipelago was suspended on June 30 due to the technical fault, caused by corrosion damage in the exhaust system, which led to a leak in the engine room. The repair was completed faster than expected. Therefore, Keep the Archipelago Clean and the Southwest Finland Waste Service were now investigating the possibility of arranging a replacement scrap collection at the end of the summer. The aim was that the big bags that customers have already purchased for scrap collection in the archipelago will be collected from the islands in connection with the 'Roope's normal maintenance rounds during the summer. Customers who have purchased a big bag for scrap collection were asked to contact customer service via email.
Scrap collection interrupted by technical faault
A scrap collection, organised by the Waste Management Service of Southwestern Finland (LSJH) and the Keep the Archipelago Clean Association (HSR rf), which was taking place in Pargas and Kimitoön was interrupted on June 29, 2026, due to a technical fault of the 'Roope'. The collection could not be continued and, for scheduling reasons, it is not possible to arrange a replacement collection this summer in the archipelago. The fault required more extensive repairs, and the vessel was not seaworthy at the moment. The 'Roope' returned to Käldinge Harbour to be dry docked for repairs. The locations that were now excluded from the collection will be visited in 2027.
