HI . it is not an unusual cancel applied as a straight line " FRA SVERRIG " (= FROM SWEDEN) to letters which were not cancelled in Sweden because they were posted in a post box on one of the many ferries between Sweden and Denmark.
However it s unusual to see so many applied criss cross in this way, so I suspect it was on a package rather than on a letter where a single cancel would be enough.
It is in fact a DANISH cancel, used in Kobenhavn , on uncancelled Swedish mail arriving by ferry .

Hello Vikingeck, look there yes, you knew a bit about this too you :-) I have not bought a Swedish catalog yet and have to use the net, and this cancel was impossible to find. Thought it could be Danish, at least Scandinavian since we have a common written language.
And exactly what you say, there was no cancel when handing in and did not understand this, but as you say, it is put in a vending machine / box so it is not processed manually. That it is stamped in a cross can be because the place of dispatch has crossed with a pencil on departure, when it arrived the recipient has just gone completely grazy with the stamp train made the same pattern..has several who only have pencil crosses, so clearly a method that was used. .
the line pair I thought made it worth investigating. Now Sweden is not a big collector of coil pairs, they like booklet pairs. Anyway, they are anyway of small number, there is such a pair every time the coil is spliced, it is on 1000 stamps becomes 0.1% line pair. If that's how they do it then ... a line pair from Frank / Wash in the US can have extremely high value..so I always keep my eyes open for them ...

I also think I have noted some incorrect data on the info, green 10 øre is type 1 and possibly facit 144

Ah yes, the accounting line in the 5ore brown, nice .I had not seen that.
The Danish Cancels are also spelled. Fra Sverige .
Some of the ferry crossings also had a a letter which related to the Sweden port of origin , M = Malmö. L=Landskrona, H= Helsingborg or Y = Ystad
