Alexander L. Kielland
Alexander L. Kielland was a semi-submersible accommodation platform that tragically capsized in the North Sea on March 27, 1980, resulting in the deaths of 123 of the 212 people on board. This disaster remains the largest industrial accident in Norwegian history and has led to ongoing discussions about safety regulations and accountability in the offshore oil industry. The recent establishment of a compensation scheme by the Norwegian Parliament for the survivors and victims' families reflects the long-standing impact of this tragedy on Norwegian society and the quest for justice and recognition for those affected.
