POSTED BY: PIETER WIJNEN 8. NOVEMBER 2018



A full evacuation of a warship is concluded after two ships collided outside the Sture-terminal in Hjeltefjord in Hordaland Norway. The Frigate KNM «Helge Ingstad» takes in large amounts of water, according to VG. Eight crew members are slightly injured. The Frigate is run aground and stabilized.

In a press release, the police announce that is the oil tanker «Sola TS» and the Frigate KNM «Helge Ingstad» that are involved along with the tugboat «Tenax», which had the tanker under tow.

The fire service has been notified that it has leaked about ten cubic metres of oil from the frigate.

– We take action accordingly, Hartvigsen informs.

He states that the Frigate has taken in a lot of water and that it has lopsided a lot to starboard.

– But that seems to be stabilized now, Hartvigsen elaborates.

Everybody evacuated
Norway...According to Commander on Watch in the Emergency Centre (110) in Hordaland, Ole Jakob Hartvigsen, there were 137 persons on board the frigate and 25 on the tanker, which was on its way out of the Sture-terminal when the collision occurred.

– Seven persons are injured. Firefighters, rescue boats and divers are on their way to the area. In addition, the fire service is in preparedness nearby on land. Evacuation has just begun, he says to VG just before 05.00 am on Thursday.

– The frigate lies with the bow all the way up to the shoreline. There is a big hole on the starboard side and there is no control over the influx of water, Officer in Charge at the Central Rescue Centre south, at Sola, Eirik Walle tells Dagbladet.

To NTB, the rescue leader says there is some danger that the frigate, which participates in the NATO exercise, Trident Juncture, will sink.

Currently, all crew is evacuated from the frigate. None of them appears to be seriously injured in the event.

The Navy takes over the responsibility
The Frigate KNM «Helge Ingstad» was mentioned in VG a few weeks ago in advance of the major NATO exercise Trident Juncture in Norway.

At 7.30 am, Colonel Lieutenant and Press spokesperson at the Armed Forces Operating Headquarters, Ivar Moen, informs that the main responsibility for the salvage action is taken over by the Norwegian Armed Forces.

– It is too early to say how long the salvage will take at the moment. We look at all relevant capacities in the area to get started as soon as possible, but we do not have a full overview of the situation yet. We must get back to sustained damage at a later point in time, Moen tells VG.

Colonel Lieutenant and Press Spokesperson in the Armed Forces, Vegard Finberg, confirms to VG that the warship participates in the Trident Juncture.

– The Frigate is finished with the mission, and is on its way back to the base at Haakonsvern, Finberg explains and adds that the Armed Forces were notified of the accident at 04.15 am.
