In the last week, the preparedness at Norwegian oil and gas facilities has been increased following the supposed sabotage against the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Chief of Staff Håkon Strand in the Sør-Vest police district confirms to VG that they have requested assistance from the Home Guard to strengthen preparedness at the facility at Kårstø in Tysvær in Rogaland. Strand will not go into detail about what this is about. Wants guard duty Ingmar Farstad is Deputy Chief of Police in Møre and Romsdal.

The Home Guard will be in place from tomorrow, Monday, he says. – Initially, this applies to the gas plant at Nyhamna in Aukra. I cannot say anything specific about what the Home Guard will do, but primarily the Home Guard will contribute with guarding. Also at Tjeldbergodden in Aure municipality in Møre og Romsdal, it may be appropriate to ask the Home Guard to contribute, but in the first instance this applies to Nyhamna, says Farstad. – This of course applies to safety, but at the same time this helps to make people safer, says Farstad to news.
