He also says that it is uncertain whether there are more people on board.
– There is reason to believe that someone is in the water, but beyond that I do not have many comments. This indicates a relatively dramatic situation, says duty manager at the 110 exchange Kjetil Iversen.
At 2.50 pm, the duty manager of TV 2 says that there has most likely not been more than two people on board the boat.
– There are no signs that there have been more, he says.
