Bourbon Dolphin probe to open Friday



By Upstream staff 

The maritime inquiry into the sinking of the anchor handling tug supply vessel Bourbon Dolphin, which capsized while working at the Rosebank field off Shetland last week, will open in Norway on Friday.

A spokesman for the South Sunnmore court told Norwegian news agency NTB that it was not yet certain how many witnesses would appear before the inquiry.

Meanwhile, Norwegian police have identified the three bodies found after the accident.

They are the ship's captain Oddne Arve Remoy, 44, from Heroy, 37-year-old Bjarte Grimstad from Hareid and Kjetil Rune Vaage, 31, from Aalesund.

Five people - 14-year-old David Remoy, from Heroy; Frank Nygaard, 42, also of Heroy; 25-year-old Ronny Emblem from Aalesund; Soren Kroer, 27, from Orum Djus, Denmark; and Tor Karl Sando, 54, also from Aalesund, are still missing, presumed drowned.
