The owner was wet and cold when he came ashore at Ulvøya just outside the center of Oslo.
The man has explained that he was alone.
– We are continuing the search a bit to verify this, says rescue manager Andreas Bull in the main rescue center to VG.
He says HRS clamped down with relatively large resources after the report. At 11.50pm on Saturday evening, the search for other possible missing people was ended, the Central Rescue Service reported on X/Twitter.
The owner of the boat reported to the police that his boat had capsized, and that he managed to get ashore in a dinghy.
Police boats continued the search in the sea for a while, together with resources from the Rescue Company, the fire service and health.
– At 22.10 the police received a report of light signals that could be perceived as an SOS signal. We sent out a police boat, which discovered what looked like the wreckage of a boat, says operations manager at the police in Oslo, Sven Christian Lie.
