The cargo vessel was bound for Sevilla from Gothenburg when it suffered engine failure.  Unable to make repairs, the Arklow Resolve went adrift in heavy sea with waves reaching 4 meters in height.  Authorities were alerted and dispatched two patrol boats to the scene.  The patrol boats took the Arklow Resolve under tow and proceeded to Dana Fjord near Gothenburg.  There the cargo vessel dropped anchor where it will undergo repairs to the main engine.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
