Very sad indeed. Especially for the family of the missing crew member.

Update on this. The Norwegian oil companies have clubbed together and have arranged the salvage operation with one even supplying one of their support vessels to carry out the lift.

The articles in norwegian, but google translate gives a good idea of what it says:
