The accident must have happened around kl. 00.30 night to Sunday.
– A man in his 20s died in connection with the accident. The deceased is a resident of Nordland, the Troms police district stated on Twitter at 12.44 on Sunday.
The accident is said to have occurred about 50 nautical miles, which corresponds to about 90 miles, outside Tromsø.
The relatives of the deceased have been notified.
– We do not have more details about what has happened yet, it is too early for that, says operations manager Eirik Kileng to Avisa Nordland.
There must have been a crew of four people on board the boat. The police will now interrogate these.
The boat will eventually dock at a place in Troms, the newspaper writes.
– After that, it will be followed up further with a crime scene investigation and other interrogations. I do not know when the boat will come ashore or where it will dock, the operations manager concludes.
The case is being updated.
