That would be:
"Sju sjösjuka sjömän sköttes av sjuttisju sköna sjuksköterskor
på det sjunkande skeppet Shanghai."

([u-] is Swedish long {u} and [8] is Sw. short {u}.)
Seven seasick seamen were taken care of by seventy-seven
beautiful nurses on the sinking ship 'Shanghai'.
There are lots more at http://www.uebersetzung.at/twister/sv.htm
One of my favourites is:
- Farfar, får får får?
- Nej, får får inte får, får får lamm.
- Grampa, do sheep get sheep?
- No, sheep don't get sheep, sheep get lambs.
