A number of other vessels were also in the area, including diving vessels, the ferry 'Bergsfjord' and an aquaculture boat. At 2 p.m. a military surveillance plane of the type P8 Poseidon has also been deployed in the search.The search was officially stopped at 8 p.m. It will now be up to the police whether the search should be resumed on Dec 13, but then the search will be for a presumed dead.
