A small tow train was on its way from Uddevalla, Sweden (100 km north of Gothenburg) to Klaipeda, Lithuania.
The tug had a 100 meter long dock gate attached. Towards the afternoon water was noticed and the dock was leaning towards starboard.

A rescue plan was developed, but persistent bad weather made rescue impossible.
The site of the sinking is marked by two wreckage barrels.
