Älvstranden Utveckling AB rejects berth for classic ship
The municipal real estate company Älvstranden Utveckling AB has rejected a berth for the 'Birger Jarl' in Gothenburg. At the end of April a couple of investors from the Gothenburg area annonuced that they wanted to buy the classic shipfrom the current owner Leif-Ivan Karlsson, who has had the vessel lying in Lunde harbor in the Kramfors municipality since 2022.
Scandal ship sold to Gothenburg company
The 'Birger Jarl'/'Baltic Star', which is mooredin Lunde, right next to Sandöbron, has now been sold. Threats of heavy fines if the ship is not moved have caused the relationship between the owner Leif-Ivan Karlsson and the municipality of Kramfors to become completely frozen. Now a Gothenburg company wants to refurbish the 81-year-old ship to operate the route Gothenburg - Travemünde. An agreement was to be signed on April 24, 2024. The ship was then to be towed to Gustavik, a half a mile south. Here is Norrland's only really large dry dock, big enough to handle the ship.

Hope that Baltic Star is moved after arrest of owner
After the arrest of Leiv-Ivan Karlsson, Malin Svanholm, municipal councilor in Kramfors, was hopeful that demands for a fine can be served and the 'Baltic Star' is moved from Lunde In December, the owner of the ship was fined SEK 200,000 a month if it was not moved. But for the fine to take effect, it was necessary that Leif-Ivan Karlsson be served with the decision, something that could not happen as he was abroad until Easter. During Easter, Karlsson was arrested by the police at his home and served with suspicion of gross misconduct against a creditor, grossly aggravating bankruptcy and gross accounting offences. These financial crimes have taken place between 2019 and 2021. On April 4, he was requested to be detained. What this means for the ongoing dispute with Kramfors municipality is unclear, but Malin Svanholm in any case htought that it was good that something changes in the case. The Prosecutor's Office stated that the suspicions that were now being directed at Leif-Ivan Karlsson are not about the so-called "Think Pink gang" that concerns serious environmental crimes. Nor does it apply to operations outside of Stockholm, and therefore not to the 'Baltic Star' either.
