Does anyone know where I might be able to find the official accident report into the Alexander Keilland disaster

RE: Alexander Keilland

All you need to do is Google search for tha above queston and you will get plenty of information.

yer I did that, didn't see any sign of the official report, or any mention come to that. Mind you it was a quick skim. Thanks

RE: Alexander Keilland

Some time ago, I also did some searching on the Alexander Kielland disaster (I assume you know "Keilland" as you spell it is not correct). I did not find a lot, and certainly not the official report. I assume the report is written in Norwegian language.

However, maybe following references are useful:

H. Petroski, "When Technology Fails", Gale Research Inc. 1994, pp 301-305.

"Weld Fractures Capsized Hotel Rig", Engineering News-Record, 1981, pp51.
