"the actions of the crew, who were under intense pressure during a severe storm at the time. . ",It appears the tanker owners have read the report and taken on board the findings. They also seem to be getting their defence in first ahead of the proposed trial next year.
London, Nov 14 -- Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) has reported that it is ready to review its safety procedures following a recently released official investigation into a collision incident between crude oil tanker Sola TS and KNM Helge Ingstad. Defence lawyers stated that the actions of the crew, who were under intense pressure during a severe storm at the time, did not come close to the definition of gross negligence required to justify imprisonment. The Norwegian state prosecutor has brought a case over liability against the owner. It will be heard at a planned two-week court hearing in Bergen scheduled for 21 September 2020.

. . . not from any "footage" that I have seen ?!
Well, given that it was going to cost about NOK90 million in T-Cut...Colour me surprised.

The Forsvarsmateriell (FMA), the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency, signed a contract with Norscrap West on 11 January to scrap the Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate KNM Helge Ingstad. The company will scrap the frigate at its facility at Hanøytangen by the end of the year, according to the FMA website. The agency valued the contract at approximately NOK60 million (nearly USD7 million), with sales of the metal recovered expected to reduce the cost by several million kroner.
Discount for bulk buying tankerloads surely?Well, given that it was going to cost about NOK90 million in T-Cut...
Still probably be cheaper towing it out to deep water and sinking it. Although the green lobby don’t like those kind of thingsColour me surprised.

I imagine that the Royal Norwegian Navy will be doing its best to avoid tankers for a while.Discount for bulk buying tankerloads surely?
As did the US, way back when.The US/NATO security people will not like it either - after all Russia has put money and effort into underwater systems to recover lost Western technologies from the seabed or to do visual inspections.
I thought turning ships into reefy things was all the rage?Still probably be cheaper towing it out to deep water and sinking it. Although the green lobby don’t like those kind of things

I know , I’m pulling yer leg. The cost of stripping those ships must be quite high and besides all official docs would be disposed of.Only when they have been throughly cleaned and no traces of fuel and lubricants have been exposed, along with asbestos, plastics, and radioactive materials. Not cheap or quick.
Even old ships being used in a SINKEX have to be stripped and cleaned.
They did, but they did not copy other peoples' technologies in the same way as the Soviets/Russians.
Ingstad has already been stripped to the bare bones. Pretty much, just a floating bath tub.I know , I’m pulling yer leg. The cost of stripping those ships must be quite high and besides all official docs would be disposed of.

Tearing up and down a narrow channel at a rate of knots was a bad idea? Who knew?Last year, the Accident Investigation Board Norway concluded, among other things, that the training of the bridge crew of the frigate was deficient.
So, reading that, are the Norwegians saying they never knew the propulsion shaft was hollow?I didn't see any mention of follow up actions, so did a quick search. The implication is that the ships MOT, certification of seaworthiness, wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Lesson's to be learned from training and design flaws. Extremely expensive lessons. If training was to blame then does that absolve bridge crew?
Norway Sues DNV Certification Office over Sunken Frigate

Last year, the Accident Investigation Board Norway concluded, among other things, that the training of the bridge crew of the frigate was deficient. However, it also concluded that water from the generator compartment penetrated into the gear compartment through hollow propeller shafts. The Armed Forces believes that DNV GL should have revealed this in advance. The Helge Ingstad collided with the tanker Sola TS in November 2018 while heading back from a major NATO exercise, Trident Juncture, the worst accident of its kind in Norwegian waters in decades. The leaked water made the damage more extensive and led to the decision for the crew to prepare for evacuation.
