At least two people are feared to still be in the water as a string of rescue vehicles frantically work to save them, Aftonbladet reports.
The Swedish Maritime Administration received reports of screams coming from the water at around 4.45am, communications manager Jonas Franzen said.
The rescue mission has been hampered by the early morning darkness.
It is understood the Scot Carrier, which was heading for Montrose in Scotland, is still functional with its crew safe.
The Karin Hoej has capsized and is upside down – with Marine Traffic reporting they have received no update from the ship for more than four hours.
