The 89 meter long, 3798 dwt freighter RMS Rotterdam became disabled in a storm off Skåne, Sweden.  The RMS Rotterdam had suffered engine failure while en route to Frederikstad from Liepaja and high winds were pushing the vessel towards the shore.  The crew was able to drop anchor preventing the vessel from going aground.  The Swedish Coast Guard has a vessel on standby to assist the RMS Rotterdam if needed.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
