Better information needed

Both journalists and such institutions as insurance underwriters and commercial companies wanted more information about the Frigg development. Curutchet had recently been put in charge of the field, and he appointed public affairs personnel to deal with the growing number of enquiries.

To reduce the threat of unconsidered responses or conflicting information, all contact – particularly with the press – was to go through the recently appointed public affairs manager, Finn Arnesen, and press spokesperson Einar R Linge.
