A mourning ceremony was held Monday in the Haakon's Hall in Bergen, for the five Statoil employees who were killed in the terrorist attack on the Statoil/BP gas plant in Algeria.
The ceremony is intended for the next of kin, those directly affected, representatives of management, support staffs and other Statoil employees involved. Representatives of the Norwegian authorities were also be in attendance.
A one-minute silence was planned for Statoil locations at 12.00 Norwegian time on the same day or, if necessary, at another suitable time. All Statoil locations will continue flying the flag at half-mast until, and including, Monday 4 February.
There will also be a memorial service at Statoil’s office in Algiers, Algeria, later during the week. Condolence books will also be placed in central Statoil locations.
Earlier last week, Statoil CEO said:
“Five friends and colleagues who were going about their work for Statoil will never return to their loved ones. They represented the very best of our company. Our thoughts and deepest compassion go first and foremost to the families, friends and colleagues who have lost those dear to them. Everyone in Statoil shares their grief. In the time ahead those most affected will need our support.”
