– Exactly what it is, we are not sure. But it’s about oil or something like that. The feedback is that we have control of the wreck right now, and that it is quiet at Tjuvholmen in the middle of the Kvernafjord, says operations manager Jørgen Ommedal in the West police district to NTB.
The fire service is working on damage assessment. Information that the oil leak has a size of 1,000×200 meters. The Norwegian Coastal Administration has been notified, the police write on Twitter.
Ommedal says that there is no large industry in the area. Therefore, they do not know where the flake comes from.
Håøysundet by Litlebergen is closed to all boats regardless of size, the police in the West inform on Twitter.
– Most of the traffic into the Kvernafjord goes via Hagelsundet, so it should not present the biggest problems for boat traffic. We have notified Fedje traffic center, which in turn notifies boats on their way into the area, says Ommedal. He can not say anything about how long the strait will be closed.
Avisa Nordhordland writes that the fire brigade is in the process of laying out booms and that there is a lot of oil on site.
