Cruise ship Viking Sky in problem

[ombugge]

I do understand Norwegian and, although it is difficult to hear, what is most impressive is the calm voice of the Pilot. I agree full with this statement:

Impressed by the calm of the communication

Operational inspector Andreas Bull at the Main Rescue Center in Southern Norway has heard parts of the sound recording, and is impressed by how calm the communication is.

• It is important that they manage to communicate properly, that the messages are clear. And then it is important that one manages to convey some peace, so that the experience of the situation, between those who are out there and those who are to help, is as much as possible, and at least not stressed out.

- Isn’t it really easy to get stressed out in such a situation?

- I suppose this is people who have been out for a winter night before. I want to believe that they are experienced who are able to communicate as calmly as this, he says.

Of course the Pilot is “Nordlending” (From Northern Norway). They are known to be pragmatic and used to handle rough weather.

You mean you have something better to do than transcribe it for us?

The transcript by NRK translate pretty well i G.T.
