Norwegian Frigate and oil tanker collision frigate sunk

Kapitan · 11-14-18, 07:55 AM

After a successful operation trident juncture 18 exercise disaster has struck the Norwegian navy, one of its most advanced warships of the Fridtjof Nansen class the Helge Ingstadt.

The Nansen class are classified as multi role frigates based around the Spanish F100 type and primarily optimized for ASuW AAW operations being fitted with the Aegis warfare system, some 440ft long 55ft wide and displacing around 5,000 tons.

These vessels comprise the main arm of the Norwegian navy and the Helge Ingstadt is one of 5 vessels which cost $2.3bn USD each, this is a huge loss to a small navy, this is also one of the most advanced and capable warships in Europe.

From the reports i have been reading it appears the Helge Ingstadt was at anchor dead in the water, weather in terms of visibility was bad with heavy driving rain.
She was in contact with the MT Solar TS by VHF radio (the tapes have been made public) a 113,000DWT Crude oil tanker before the collision took place the master of the tanker is heard saying " Helge Ingstadt you must do something" and "we may have a collision then" the collision occurred on the Helge Ingstadt's aft starboard side likely in the engine and machinery area causing severe flooding to that area, its known the bow of the tanker has been damaged but remains afloat, the Helge Ingstadt was deliberately run aground.

At the moment we don't know what the situation is with the tankers crew its likely the ship will be detained pending inquiry.

Something similar has happened in 1994 with the HMNoMS Oslo when she sank under tow.

This morning i awoke to the news that sadly the Helge Ingstadt has now slipped down a steep embankment that she went aground on and has subsequently sunk becoming what they call a CTL (constructive total loss).

So she eventually succumbed

Kapitan · 11-14-18, 08:18 AM

Yeah she finally went down its a shame they are very good ships and despite the size limitations they were quite roomy

Jimbuna · 11-14-18, 08:59 AM

Hopefully they'll be able to raise her, such a fairly young ship (2007) and potentially plenty of life ahead of her.

Reminds me of an old newspaper headline:

Two ships collide. One dies.

em2nought · 11-14-18, 10:08 AM

I'm beginning to wonder?

Kapitan · 11-14-18, 11:14 AM

Generally speaking Jim once water gets into an engine room its generally considered a constructive total loss given the amount thats now under water i would summize that she will be fit for no more than scrap.

Jimbuna · 11-14-18, 11:20 AM

Nah, a quick oil change and she'll be fine

Kapitan · 11-14-18, 11:21 AM

$2.3bn USD is a lot of money to have sinking around

Mr Quatro · 11-14-18, 12:02 PM

How did the crew do?

Kapitan · 11-14-18, 12:10 PM

All crew rescued believe there were 10 injuries in total tanker crew all safe,

At least it wasn't the USN this time.

Just an update:

They are now saying it could be up to three weeks before raising the ship takes places.

Looking at it i would say fit only for scrap
