At 10.28 on 23 November 2018, the dive boat Nordavind hit Hakkelskjæret skerry in the Fensfjord/Feiefjord. The vessel was found in January 2019 at a depth of approximately 77 metres, and was raised on 23 February 2019. The operator of the vessel is still missing.
The AIBN has not made any observations or findings that can provide a basis for describing what happened or why the accident happened.
