In Stralsund, the company Strela Shiprepair will take care of the further work. The Federal Bureau of Maritime Accident Investigation (BSU) has classified the incident as a serious maritime accident. After investigations on board have already been carried out, a report is to summarize the results, but it will take at least months for this to happen.
