Crew could have saved their frigate
April 21, 2021
Norway’s accident investigations commission has determined that the crew of the doomed frigate
KNM Helge Ingstad failed to close doors and hatches when they abandoned ship after colliding with a tanker in November 2018. A full shutdown, claims the commission, could have kept the frigate from becoming a total loss if the crew had been better trained.

The Norwegian Navy was under harsh criticism once again on Wednesday, when the commission
(Havari-kommisjonen) delivered its second report on the collision. It has turned into a costly embarrassment that could have been avoided, according to the commission.
