The caption of the ship – moored at the quayside in Øygarden municipality in Hordaland – reported all the 23 people aboard have been accounted for.
There were 102 people at the Sture terminal – a major tanker port for crude oil – when the incident occurred and those who do not have emergency tasks were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
