How could this happen? Now the police and the Accident Investigation Board Norway are searching for answers.
– In practice, we are investigating two accidents. A fishing boat with a guide where a young girl died, and the situation with a rescue boat that assisted in the work where a diver died, says Dag Liseth, Director of the Maritime Department at the Accident Investigation Board Norway.
– The status is that the police have opened a case. We are in the initial phase and have taken some investigative steps, police lawyer Rita Hermansen Dahl tells VG.
– It is important to examine it thoroughly, to find out how the vessel could capsize. We will see if there is any external damage. At the same time, it may be appropriate to model it using a stability program to see how it behaves in the sea, says Dag Liseth of the commission.
The Accident Investigation Board Norway is due to submit a report on the accident within a year. Work began over the weekend.
He emphasizes that the commission’s work is to achieve the most safety learning possible.
– We are not going to decide on guilt. Criminal liability and civil liability are handled by others.

The Norwegian Maritime Authority
A government agency responsible for the safety and regulation of shipping in Norway. is also connected to the accident.

Arronet says that they are ready to assist both the police and the Accident Investigation Board Norway.
– We have been producing boats for more than 20 years. This is the first time we have had a boat that has been involved in such a tragic accident. We hope the investigations will show what happened. We really want to know, we want to build the safest boats, and see what we can learn from it, says Niklas von Arronet in the company to VG.
