A ferry bound for Oslo had to turn back before reaching its destination as severe weather made the crossing impossible. The decision left many passengers back where they started; it is a difficult day to be at sea, or to be waiting for someone who is.
The national broadcaster, NRK, is shrinking as 106 employees accepted voluntary severance packages. In Ringerike, police have arrested one person and charged them with murder following a death at a residence. Public institutions and private safety are both having a difficult morning.
The stock market fell sharply after a rig incident dragged down shares in Borr and BW Energy, while Nordic Mining has suspended operations to preserve cash. Separately, a high-strength medicine has been pulled from shelves because the dosage was found to have tripled.
