A ferry that ran aground off southeastern Sweden and leaked oil into the Baltic Sea has been pulled free Wednesday and anchored nearby, the Swedish coastguard said, adding that a new oil leak has been discovered.

It was unclear how much oil had been leaked as Marco Polo, operated by TT-Line of Germany, was freed from its third grounding.
