The ship cost 3.5 billions Nok, the annual budget of the Norwegian navy so it's in their interest to save her.

I think the ship was deliberately run aground so she would be saved.

What an accident !!! how much are the losses? does any one got hurt?

More pictures of the Damaged Frigate



















KNM Helge F313

The Norwegian frigate KNM Helge Ingstad, badly damaged after colliding with an oil tanker. In the early hours of today, the frigate KNM Helge Ingstad F-313 of the Royal Navy of Norway has been seriously damaged after colliding with a Maltese petroleum 250 meters in length, the Sola TS. A waterway was opened to the Norwegian warship and it was pushed towards the coast by tugboats, with the aim of making it run aground to avoid its sinking. The frigate belongs to the Fridtjof Nansen class, was built in Ferrol (Spain) by Navantia and was launched on November 23, 2007, receiving the discharge in the Norwegian Navy on September 29, 2009. The accident occurred north of Sture terminal, in the municipality of Øygarden, in the province of Hordaland, in the south of Norway, when the Norwegian frigate returned from its participation in the Trident Juncture exercise 2018 of NATO, which precisely has been developed in recent days in the Nordic country.

The Norwegian Defence Forces now confirm that several of the securing wires, which held the vessel in place, have been torn, and HNoMS Helge Ingstad has now effectively sunk!

 

[Gordus]

What a shame .... though it should be raisable and salvagable right ?.

 

[Roundose]

what a waste of money

 

[bdpopeye]

what a waste of money

Why do you feel there is a waste of money? Thank you.

What a shame .... though it should be raisable and salvagable right ?.

Should be. The Norwegian Navy needs to get the ship raised before their very harsh winter sets in.

During WWII the US Navy raised and rebuilt several ships sunk at Pearl Harbor.

Apparently a USN officer was on the bridge qt the time of the incident. He is a person of interrest to the Norwegian police who investigate the accident.

No where in the article does it state that the USN officer was on the bridge when the accident occurred. The article states;

The American officer, who has not been identified, was onboard the Norwegian navy frigate as part of a military personnel exchange, according to U.S. and Norwegian officials. The sailor's role on the ship remains unclear.

Let's us wait and see what comes out of this investigation. I don't know how the NN would investigate this incident but the USN would initially hold all those personell on watch on the bridge and deck lookouts accountable.
