(Dagbladet): Redningsskøyta RS 137 “Kristian Gerhard Jebsen ‘jobs now dragging a whale carcass at sea. It was Øyvind Turøy from Sotra who discovered the inflated whale in the bay outside where he lives on Friday.
– We have it after us now, says skipper Even Leonardsen Dagbladet on Saturday.
He does not believe there is an immediate danger that it explodes.
– But you know the never, he adds.
Øyvind Turøy immediately started working to get removed the carcass from what he says is a popular swimming bay in summer.
Far out
The skipper of rescue boat says that the plan is to go hvalkadaveret far out at sea, but he is not sure what then to happen, and refers to the Directorate of Fisheries for more information about the further process.
– It’s full of gas. Sticking a few holes on the carcass spurts enough content, says whale expert and physiology professor Lars Walløe from the University of Oslo newspaper Bergen times.
Do not
Section Manager Roger ÅSARMOEN Directorate of Fisheries is also not quite sure what happens when the whale has been dragged out far enough, but says he has been in dialogue with skipper Leonardsen, which in turn should prevent contact with the coastguard center to know exactly how far out. That way they might have to pierce the whale.
– It has something with the currents to do so we need to get it far enough out that the current takes it with him, telling ÅSARMOEN.
– It’s Christmas
Skipper Leonardsen says he has no contact with the coastguard center and tells Dagbladet that this is not his mission.
– We just do what we’re told. It is his mission to speak, says Leonardsen and refers to Aarsmoen in Fisheries.
Asked if he feels that the communication is poor, he replied laughingly no.
– It’s Christmas in the yard, so it is not just only.
No explosion
When Dagbladet contact Coastguard says duty officer Leif-Owe Birkeland that they have had contact with Redningsskøyta. The plan is to take over for Redningsskøyta the afternoon, when the Coast Guard vessel is ready. To release the carcass out by currents had Redningsskøyta raised nearly 20 mil out. Some well far, according Birkeland.
– We tend to lower them with a couple of tons of sand bags we, telling the guard commander and denying that there is a whale explosion.
– Then you have on Youtube I think, he adds.
But it is not just Fisheries and Redningsskøyta facing challenges associated with Christmas. Also Coastguard has a small logistics problem in connection with the amount sand that will be needed to lower a whale.
– It’s what’s downhill installment at Christmas and now when it is weekend, says Birkeland, who regardless think it is better to lower it than to send it with the ocean current.
– When it gets so big so it becomes the obstacle to traffic at sea, he said.
