If you try to submit 0, it will tell you must be in numeric format.

So, answer does not have 0 in it.

i submitted an answer w/ zeros in it at 710 and had no problems. this puzzle would have been easy if you could re-submit....i would say the order is
3xx51(or 2 depending on what you got for the buoy)54x
x=whatever you had for bottle.

i also thought left to right, but then i noticed that the 5 jug and 4 lantern actually fall along the same waterline (the white foam) but at different times, so i thought using left to right wasn't correct and used order of falling instead.
so use the 3xx254x instead of the x54x32xx order

however, now that i think about it, if the buoy represented 2 i will be very sad:(

but i still think 710 wasnt a quick enough time regardless, i think a time of like 7:01 or so will win:)

Well I went with the following co-ordinates:

Just now plotted my coords: 65.23 and 23.59

It's the Bay of Bothnia, neatly close to Volvo's Swedish homeland, well sheltered and easily accessed from Stockholm (and, I'd assume, from Gotteberg as well.)

Wikipedia says this (bolding mine):

Bothnia is a Latinization of Old Norse botn [1], meaning "bottom". The name botn was applied to the Gulf of Bothnia as Helsingjabotn in Old Norse, after Hälsingland, which at the time referred to the coastland west of the gulf. Later, botten was applied to the regions Västerbotten on the western side and Österbotten the eastern side ("East Bottom" and "West Bottom"). The Finnish name of Österbotten, Pohjanmaa, or "Pohja"-land, gives a hint as to the meaning in both languages: pohja means both "bottom" and "north."

Botn/botten is cognate with the English word bottom, and it might be part of a general north European distinction of lowlands, as opposed to highlands, such as the Netherlandic region, Samogitia (Lithuanian), and Sambia (Russia).

A second possibility is that botten follows an alternative Scandinavian connotation of 'furthermost'. Thus, the Gulf of Bothnia would be the farthest extent of the Ocean.
