Former Head of Freedom on Security Critical Discovery: – Shocking

– What was surprising, it is the construction error mentioned. It was a whole new illumination. I mean that's shocking information, "said Børresen.

He wonders if he has not discovered the error before. He therefore asks if there is a construction error or if it was discovered by the inspectors at the construction site, which he hopes to be able to resolve.

According to the preliminary report of the Havarikommission, one of the causes of the collision is the misunderstanding that occurred on Helge Ingstad's bridge when they discovered the roof lights of the tanker "Sola TS". The crew had the impression that the light belonged to an immobile object, rather calm.

"We had a good description of how the navigators experienced the situation and why the captain did not want to go to starboard.I understand the manager's assessment, but we do not know why no other information "It was available on the deck and included in the analysis." The Havarik Commission must look further ahead, says Børresen.

On Friday, Børresen launches the book "KNM Oslo Shipwreck", which deals with the loss of the KNM frigate "Oslo" in 1994. Although Børresen sees no common feature between the collisions, he believes that there are parallels between the treatment of the situation.

"What we saw in 1994 was how the board of command and control managed to evacuate the crew, and we're saying the same thing now," says Børresen.
