The vessels involved in the accident on Thursday morning were reportedly carrying around 160 people – 137 aboard the navy ship and 23 on the tanker. Those injured were among the oil tanker’s crew, local newspaper VG reported.
The frigate is believed to be the KNM Helge Ingstad, which took part in NATO’s massive Trident Juncture 2018 wargames. The collision occurred as the warship was heading back to its base, VG says, citing military spokesperson Vegard Finberg.
The Navy quickly evacuated all the crew except for 10 essential staff members to prevent a possible fuel leak.
There were no reports of damage or leaks from the oil tanker, identified as Sola TS. The collision is believed to have happened when the vessel was leaving Sture Terminal, 50 kilometers northwest of Bergen, carrying 625,000 liters of crude oil.

It looks like the oil tanker was much sturdier than the navy warship.

If a navy warship could get damaged in a slow moving collision against an oil tanker, I can't imagine how the navy ship could withstand a collision against an incoming enemy missile.

The Norwegian Navy frigate is no match for the PLA navy frigate Type 52D or Type 54A frigates. It will be smashed to smithereens in a collision!

On 3 January 2003 at about 11.35 pm, a patrol vessel commissioned by the Republic of Singapore Navy, the RSS Courageous, collided with a cargo ship, the ANL Indonesia, along the eastern Singapore Straits near Horsburgh Lighthouse (on the island of Pedra Branca).1 The collision not only caused extensive damage to RSS Courageous, but also resulted in the deaths of four of its crew members. Two naval officers were later found guilty of causing the accident and fined for negligence
