Chaos erupted on the Viking Line ferry as it arrived in Stockholm on Saturday evening, according to several passengers. Hundreds of people, including families with children and people in wheelchairs, were left standing tightly packed on several decks and had to wait over an hour to leave the ferry, without being given any information about what was going on.

Viking Line's communications manager Eleonora Hansi says it was a technical challenge with the gangway and that the delay was only ten minutes, but confirms that only one gangway was used instead of two. According to passenger Daniel, it became crowded and a bit rough when everyone finally had to disembark via a single steel staircase, and he describes the situation as almost an emergency evacuation.
