First impressions • At grounding site • At sea – substantial recovery – international assistance – ice conditions (freeze-up and drift ice)
• On-shore –p patches over wide area – HES issues, down to - 20 deg C – relativelyy easyy to remove
• Overall impact unclear due to ice Norwegian Coastal Administration, Department for Emergency Response
