He stressed that the armed forces would continue to contribute to the full access of the Havarik Commission, but were careful to draw silly conclusions about what had happened the night before the work of the Criminal Commission, internal police investigations. and defense were over.
"Our main goal is always to train KNM Helge Ingstad and take care of our staff," said the managing director.
Security Criticism
The Hearing Panel Report reveals more critical safety issues that need to be addressed immediately. One is related to the tight section of the ship, which, he assumes, also applies to the remaining four frigates.
The water fill became much larger than indicated by the initial damage, and the filling of the cavity led to the decision to start the preparation of the evacuation.
– We have taken temporary measures to correct the problem so that the ship can navigate. At the same time, we dialogue with Defense Materials, the Navantis supplier and other specialist communities to find permanent solutions, "said Bruun-Hanssen.
"We are aware that safety was not as good as it should have been," Stensønes added.
He said that temporary measures had been introduced on the frigates so that they could still navigate.
"We are working with experts to find a permanent solution, but at the moment we do not know what the solution is, how large the work will be, or how much it will cost," Stensønes told TV2.
Honed in routines
When asked why there was no difference between the "Sola TS" and the Sturgeon Terminal, the Navy Chief responded that he was aware of the Commission's report of # 39; s hearing.
"They finally came to the conclusion that perception does not correspond to reality, and this perception is an important part of how we make observations and we need to be very aware of it, and we may need to consider new routines to better control this. "says Stensønes.
He also stated that the navy had tightened the requirements for the use of AIS in the waters following the accident.
"We have stepped up the ship's routines, but we have not defined what we should do area for zone.It's something we need to look at later.But it is important that the sea ships do not use AIS all the time, nor reveal where you are, "says Stensønes.
Have not talked to the bridge
The defense could not answer for the critics of the gangway teams that did it in the last few minutes before it narrowed.
"The police asked our internal investigation not to talk to the bridge team before the end of the investigation, so we do not know what has happened in the past ten years. minutes, nor why the speed has not been reduced, explains Stensønes.
For TV2, Bruun-Hanssen said at the press conference that he expects the storage of the frigate to be a success.
"We must then consider the possibility of taking the boat or other solutions," said the director general.
