You can follow the press conference in this article. Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt, Fisheries and Oceans Minister Bjørnar Skjæran and Justice and Emergency Services Minister Emilie Enger Mehl invite to a press conference on emergency preparedness related to Norwegian ports. Preparedness on the Norwegian continental shelf is sky high after the gas leaks in the Baltic Sea. Armed soldiers from the Home Guard protect Norwegian oil and gas facilities. At the same time, both Russian fishing vessels and research vessels have been able to sail through Norwegian waters unimpeded. Norway has so far been the only country in Europe with an exception for Russian fishing vessels.
